Chocolatl's Note:

Okay, they're not really rumaki, but they're good anyway. From Southern Living. Don't eat the toothpicks!

Terrific recipe! Simple and quick to make, and delicious - loved the ginger. I used ready-to-eat bacon which made this even simpler. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

p.s. I already posted my (rave) review, but I forgot to say what I did....

I mixed the ginger, onions and lemon juice, adding crushed garlic and a little e.v. olive oil, in a bowl, tossed in the scallops and marinated them for a few minutes while cooking the bacon. Then I threaded them onto short satay sticks (3 per stick) and grilled them on the bbq. Served on a lettuce leaf.

DH actually decided to pull out the stick and wrap them in the lettuce leaf and munch as a healthy wrap! Wonderful!
