Ingredients

12 sea scallops

12 slices of thin sliced bacon

24 pecans

Skewers or toothpicks

Oven 425 degrees. Slotted broiler pan with aluminum foil lining bottom of broiler pan.

Cut large sea scallops in half. Cut bacon slices in half. Lay out bacon on cutting board surface. Place a pecan in center of each strip of bacon.
