Bourbon Bacon Scallops
3 T. minced green onions
2 T. bourbon
2 T. maple syrup
1 T. low-sodium soy sauce
1 T. Dijon mustard
1/4 tsp. pepper
24 large sea scallops (about 1-1/2 lb.)
6 low-sodium bacon slices (4 oz.)
Cooking spray
Combine first 6 ingredients in a bowl; stir well. Add scallops, stirring gently to coat. Cover and marinate in refrigerator 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Remove scallops from bowl, reserving marinade. Cut each slice of bacon into 4 pieces. Wrap 1 bacon piece around each scallop (bacon might only wrap halfway around scallops if they are very large). Thread scallops onto 4 (12-inch) skewers, leaving some space between scallops so bacon will cook. Place skewers on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray; broil 8 minutes or until bacon is crisp and scallops are done, basting occasionally with reserved marinade (cooking time will vary greatly with size of scallops).
