For best results, use high-quality, thick-cut bacon that will crisp up nicely in the oven.
Be careful not to overcook the scallops, as they can become rubbery. They are done when they are opaque and slightly firm to the touch.
A squeeze of fresh lemon juice after baking can brighten the flavors even more.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

    I used thin-cut bacon by accident, and it burned a bit. Definitely use thick-cut bacon as recommended!
