Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Position an oven rack 6 inches from the broiler and preheat. Line two baking sheets with aluminum foil. (5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

In a bowl, whisk together the teriyaki sauce, brown sugar, and minced ginger until well combined and the sugar is mostly dissolved. (2 minutes)

03

Step
15 mins

Wrap each scallop piece with a half-strip of bacon, securing it with a toothpick. Dip the bacon-wrapped scallops into the teriyaki mixture, ensuring they are well coated. Arrange the scallops on one of the prepared baking sheets. (15 minutes)

04

Step
12 mins

Broil the scallops in the preheated oven until the bacon is lightly charred, about 6 minutes. Flip the scallops, transfer them to the clean baking sheet, and broil until the bacon is charred on the second side, about 6 minutes more. (12 minutes)

For best results, use high-quality, thick-cut bacon to ensure it crisps up nicely without burning the scallops.
Be sure to watch the scallops closely under the broiler, as cooking times may vary depending on your oven.
Serve immediately for optimal flavor and texture. Garnish with chopped green onions or a sprinkle of sesame seeds for an extra touch.
