Scaloinks!

You know that question, late in the afternoon, "what's for supper?" Off to the store I went in search of "targets of opportunity"

I've been thinking about "something different" so here goes.

Scaloinks!

I started with 3lbs of sea scallops. I tried to get the BIG ones, but my store did not have them.

I started wrapping them with bacon. This is were I learned that scallops are a lot slippierer than meat balls.

After wrapping 1.5lbs (with 1lb of bacon) I decided to do half unwrapped.

The bacon wrapped ones got a generous application of soileau's seasoning, the "naked" ones were seasoned with Old Bay.

I set the MAK 2 star to HIGH and put the scallops on

The Mrs made French Onion soup (again) It was great

The flavor was great, it was a hit. I would have liked to run them on "smoke" but I didn't want to over cook them. When I do these again I will put the bacon in the oven for a few minutes to give it a head start.

Oh and lets not forget dessert:

Oooh, Scallops wrapped in bacon then smoked on the grill. Now that's the ticket! And I love the name, "Scaloinks". :cool:

This is headed straight for the top of my list. We already like doing bacon wrapped Crab & Shrimp. Next time I'll have to add scallops to the batch!


Nice touch with the dessert too!
