Grilled Scallops with Bacon

Love scallops? Me, too! Scallops cooked on the grill with bacon are especially tasty… but wrapping each scallop takes lots of time and bacon. Get the same great flavor with this little cooking tip.  Place pieces of raw bacon on top of the scallops and close them in a kabob grilling basket, which will keep the bacon pieces in place.
