Teriyaki Bacon Wrapped Scallops

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
• 18 slices bacon, halved crosswise
• 12 large sea scallops, cut into thirds
• 36 toothpicks

Directions

Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line 2 baking sheets with aluminum foil.

Whisk teriyaki sauce, brown sugar, and ginger in a bowl.

Wrap each piece of scallop with a strip of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Dip each bacon wrapped scallop in the teriyaki sauce mixture and arrange on one of the prepared baking sheets.

Broil in preheated oven until lightly charred, about 6 minutes. Flip scallops and transfer to the clean baking sheet and return scallops to the oven. Continue to broil until bacon is charred on the second side, about 6 minutes more.
