I didn't care for these too much. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to remove the scallops from the marinade before pouring the melted butter on them and baking or if I was supposed to pour the melted butter on them in the marinade pan and then bake them in that same pan. I left the scallops in the pan and poured the butter on them and then baked. The bacon on the understand of the scallops (in the marinade) never really cooked. I guess I should have turned the scallops during cooking to get all sides of the bacon cooked. In my opinion there are much better scallop recipes on this site.
