Chinese Bacon Wrapped Scallops

Scallop Appetizer

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Serves: 10

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 lbs sea scallops
• 3⁄4-1  lb  thinly sliced bacon
• 20 -22  six-inch  bamboo skewers, soaked in water for one hour
• 1  tablespoon mustard powder
• 2  tablespoons hot water
• 1⁄2 cup plum sauce or 1⁄2 cup  Chinese duck sauce
• 1⁄2 teaspoon  sesame oil
• 1⁄2 teaspoon soy sauce

Directions

1. LIGHTLY RINSE THE SCALLOPS and drain thoroughly. Slice any very thick ones in half horizontally.
2. Heat a broiler or prepare a medium hot fire for grilling.
3. Combine the Plum Sauce ingredients and blend well. Cut the strips of bacon in half. Place the scallops in a bowl, ad half the sauce, and toss lightly to coat. Wrap a piece of bacon around each scallop and thread onto the bamboo skewers. If broiling the scallops, cover a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and arrange the skewered scallops on top. Place the scallops about 3 inches from the heat source and broil or grill, basting with the remaining sauce, for about 8 to 9 minutes on each side, or until the bacon is cooked. Serve hot.
