For an extra touch of elegance, garnish with freshly chopped chives or parsley before serving. If you don't have bacon drippings on hand, you can substitute with olive oil or more butter. Be sure to pat the scallops dry before searing to ensure a good crust forms. Adjust the amount of horseradish to your liking; start with a smaller amount and add more if desired. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

01 Step
Recipe View 10 mins In a large, deep skillet, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until perfectly crisp, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Reserve approximately 1 tablespoon of the rendered bacon drippings in the skillet. Once the bacon is cool enough to handle, crumble it into small pieces.
02 Step

03 Step
Recipe View 8 mins In the same skillet with the reserved bacon drippings, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the garlic salt until well combined. Add the scallops to the skillet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook the scallops for about 3-4 minutes per side, until they develop a beautiful golden-brown crust. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become rubbery.
04 Step
