Love the idea of using maple-flavored bacon, but I had to use low-sodium bacon, which is what I had on hand. I just made a quarter of the recipe, using 1/2 lb sea scallops and 1 can pineapple chunks (no shrimp, no water chestnuts). This is quick and yummy, and I can't wait to have it with the maple-type bacon!

Great appy recipe! I made these as a test run for New Years, I only made them using shrimp and reduced the recipe by half. Another great addition to my appy menu, thanks hon!...Kitten :)
