Do any of you have a recipe for the preparation of scollops besides
rolling in crumbs & frying or breading them & frying..I want to stay
away from fried foods, so need new recipe..thank you. Essy

This is for sea scallops, the 10-12/lb size, no bay or calico scallops.

Microwave some maple or brown sugar cured bacon until limp but still only
partially cooked. Wrap scallops with bacon and pin with toothpicks
(alternatively, alternate squares of bacon on skewers).

In a very hot, lightly oiled cast iron skillet or griddle sear the scallops
on both sides to form a crust but still rare or even raw in the middle,
about 45 second per side. Remove to a warm oven, deglaze the pan with some
lime juice. Add caramelized sugar and a dash of fish sauce (substitute
teriyaki) Plate scallops and sauce with the lime/caramel pan sauce.
