Bacon Wrapped Shrimp And Scallops Recipes

Steps:

• Position a rack 3 to 4 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler. Whisk the lemon juice, garlic, paprika, thyme, olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a shallow baking dish. Add the shrimp and toss to coat; marinate in the refrigerator, 20 minutes.
• Turn the shrimp in the marinade to coat well. One at a time, remove each shrimp and wrap with a piece of bacon; secure with a toothpick if desired. Place seam-side down on a baking sheet. Spoon any remaining marinade over the shrimp. Broil, turning the shrimp once, until the bacon is slightly crisp and the shrimp are cooked through, about 5 minutes.

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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F.
• Place the shrimp and scallops in a shallow dish or bowl. Dress the seafood with the lime juice and zest, sesame oil, grill seasoning, and hot red pepper flakes. Wrap each shrimp and scallop with a half slice of bacon. Wrap each shrimp from head to tail, pulling the bacon snuggly around the shrimp. Wrap the bacon around the outside of each scallop. Fasten the bacon in place with toothpicks.
• Arrange the shrimp and scallops on a slotted baking pan, such as a broiler pan, to allow it to drain while the bacon crisps. Bake for 10 to 14 minutes, until the shrimp is pink and curled, the scallops are opaque, and the bacon is crisp. Check after 8 minutes; the shrimp might finish before the scallops.
• Arrange the cooked seafood on a platter and sprinkle with chopped scallions.
