Maple Glazed Scallops Recipes

BOURBON - MAPLE SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Lightly score the tops and bottoms of the scallops with a crosshatch pattern (a slanted tic-tac-toe board). Only let the knife go through the surface slightly.
• Whisk the liquids and seasonings together.
• Add the scallops and let them marinate in the liquid for 15-30 minutes.
• Saute on a medium-high heat for 2-3 minute per side.
• Try to only turn over once.
• Drizzle the pan juices over the top and serve.

BBQ GRILLED BACON WRAPPED MAPLE GLAZED SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Soak long wooden skewers in water for about 20 minutes (available from the dollar store).
• Preheat BBQ to about 250°F.
• Mix BBQ sauce and Maple syrup.
• Wrap bacon around each scallop and thread onto a skewer (4 on each).
• Place each skewer on the grill.
• Sear for about 2 minutes each side.
• Spoon or brush BBQ sauce/Maple syrup mixture over entire skewer each turn.
• Grill and turn every 2 minutes.
• Remove from grill after about 8 minutes. The longer they are left on the crispier and somewhat chewier they will be.

GRILLED MAPLE GLAZED BACON WRAPPED SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Partially Cook Bacon for 3-5 minutes in a pan, on medium heat, putting a plate or weight on the bacon to flatten it as it cooks. Do not overcook, as it will complete the cooking process on the BBQ. Remove from pan and place the partially cooked bacon slices on a paper towel and pat with papertowels to remove any excess grease, then set aside.
• Lightly Salt the Scallops, and then wrap them with the partially cooked bacon and secure them with toothpicks.
• Mix Maple Syrup and Dijon Mustard together, and coat the bacon wrapped scallops with the mixture, and refrigerate for (1) hour if you have the extra time, if not you can grill them right away.
• Lightly Oil the BBQ grill, and cook until lightly browned. Serve immediately.
