Marinated Scallops Wrapped in Bacon Recipe

Stir together maple syrup soy sauce and Dijon mustard in a bowl until smooth. Add the scallops and toss to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and marinate at least one hour.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with a sheet of aluminum foil.

Arrange bacon pieces on baking sheet so they do not overlap. Bake in preheated oven until some of the grease has rendered out of the bacon; the bacon should still be very soft and pliable about 8 minutes. Remove bacon from the baking sheet and pat with paper towels to remove excess grease. Drain or wipe grease from the baking sheet.

Wrap each scallop piece with a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place onto baking sheet. Sprinkle the scallops with brown sugar.

Bake in preheated oven until the scallops are opaque and the bacon is crisp 10 to 15 minutes turning once.
