I don't make it by that name, but I've grilled scallops with bacon. I
found it works better when I pre-cook the bacon about halfway done
before wrapping the scallops (or shrimp) with it. That way you don't
have to overcook the seafood to get the bacon done.

As to the sauce it was probably something Creole, but the sauce
remoulade I posted several days ago would also work. -aem
