Bacon-Wrapped Scallops

 Print Recipe

So, I felt creative and a little bit pretentious – I asked myself, “What would The Monopoly Man make for dinner?” OBVIOUSLY, the answer was bacon wrapped scallops.

Here is a recipe I had the pleasure of devouring 30 minutes after I started making it. I suggest using turkey bacon, but regular bacon works too.
