Brandy-Soaked Scallops Recipe

Brandy-Soaked Scallops Recipe

  • 1 (12 ounce) package JENNIE-O TURKEY STORE® Turkey Bacon, each slice cut in half crosswise
  • 2 pounds small sea scallops
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup brandy
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salad greens (optional)
  1. Wrap 1 piece bacon around each scallop; secure with toothpicks, if necessary (metal toothpicks pictured; if using wooden toothpicks, soak in water 20 minutes). Place wrapped scallops in 13×9-inch baking dish. Combine oil, brandy, parsley, garlic, pepper, salt and onion powder in a small bowl; mix well. Pour over scallops; cover and marinate in refrigerator at least 4 hours.
  2. Remove scallops from marinade; discard marinade. Arrange on rack of broiler pan. Broil, 4 inches from heat, 7 to 10 minutes until bacon is brown. Turn over; cook 5 minutes or until scallops are opaque. Remove toothpicks. Arrange over salad greens and garnish, if desired.
