Barbecued Bacon And Scallop Brochettes Recipes

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium-high heat.
• Place bacon on paper towel-covered microwaveable plate. Microwave on HIGH 2-1/2 min. or just until bacon starts to cook but is not crisp. Cool slightly.
• Wrap 1 bacon slice around each scallop. Thread 2 scallops onto each of 4 skewers.
• Grill 7 to 8 min. or until scallops are done and bacon is crisp, turning frequently and brushing with barbecue sauce. Transfer to platter; sprinkle with pepper.

Steps:

• Wash and dry the scallops and place in a bowl with the lemon juice, dill seeds, salt and pepper; leave to marinate for 30 minutes, stirring from time to time.
• Preheat the grill.
• Remove the scallops from the bowl and reserve the marinade.
• Cut the bacon rashers in half and roll 8 of the scallops in a piece of bacon.
• Spear alternative plain and bacon-wrapped scallops onto 4 skewers (2 plain, 2 bacon-wrapped per skewer).
• Brush with the reserved marinade and grill for 10 minutes, turning occasionally.
• Serve hot.

Steps:

• Thaw scallops, if frozen. Halve large scallops (you should have about 20 pieces).
• Place scallops in a plastic bag set in a shallow dish.
• For marinade: In a small bowl combine oil, sherry, mustard, honey, and soy sauce. Pour over the scallops. Close bag; marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Drain the scallops, discarding the marinade. Thread scallops on long metal skewers (If using scallops and shrimp, thread a scallop in the "curl" of each shrimp).
• Grill on the lightly greased rack of an uncovered grill directly over med. heat for 6 to 8 minutes or until scallops and/or shrimp are opaque; turning once.
• (Prep time includes marinating time).

Steps:

• On 12 metal or soaked wooden skewers, alternately thread two mushrooms, two tomatoes and two pieces of bacon with four pieces of fish or seafood. Brush with melted butter., Grill, covered, over medium-hot heat for 5-7 minutes or until shrimp turn pink and scallops are opaque, turning once. Combine butter and chives; serve with brochettes.

Steps:

• Heat a large saute pan over medium-low heat, and add bacon. Cook slowly, stirring frequently, until brown and crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon, and transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
• Drain excess fat, leaving a thin coat on bottom of pan. Increase heat to medium, add scallops to pan, and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until golden brown and opaque, about 2 minutes per side.
• Transfer scallops to the serving dish, and add shallots to pan. When shallots are translucent, add white wine; scrape browned bits from bottom of pan with a wooden spoon. Cook until liquid is reduced by half, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in butter, and pour over scallops; top with reserved bacon. Serve over ribbon zucchini.
