Seared Scallops with Bacon and Scallions
From Chef, author and TV host Rachael Ray
December 31, 2003

Rachael Ray, host of the Food Network's 30 Minute Meals and $40 a Day shared some of her party time recipes and appetizers with Good Morning America.

Check out Ray's recipes for Lavash Pizzas with Smoked Cheese and Ham, Barbecued Shrimp in Lettuce Wraps, Stovetop Spinach and Artichoke Dip with Crust and Seared Scallops with Bacon and Scallions.

Ingredients

4 slices bacon

18 sea scallops

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (evoo) or vegetable oil

4 scallions, chopped

Directions

Crisp bacon in frying pan, under broiler, or in a microwave. When bacon is crisp, drain and chop, set aside.

Season the scallops with salt and pepper. To a very hot skillet, add 1 tablespoon evoo (once around the pan), then place 9 scallops in the pan, 1 inch apart. Sear scallops 2 minutes on each side, until caramelized and opaque. Transfer to a platter and cover loosely with foil. Repeat with remaining oil and scallops.

To serve, top scallops with chopped bacon bits and scallions by scattering them evenly over the scallops. Place party picks in a shot glass or small dish and set them on or near platter.

Yield: 18 bites
