Soak wooden skewers or toothpicks in water for about 30 minutes
You'll want to make sure your scallops are completely thawed and patted dry with a paper towel - refer to notes below
Set your oven to broil
Cut bacon strips in half
Wrap thawed and dried scallops in bacon
Use a pre-soaked wooden skewer for more than one scallop or toothpick for single scallops to push through the middle of the bacon-wrapped scallop and secure the bacon in place
Place the finished skewer on a broiling pan - grind a little pepper over the scallops
Repeat with more scallops and bacon, until you're ready to cook them
Place bacon-wrapped scallops in the oven, under the broiler for about 3 minutes.
Flip them over for another 3 or 4 minutes
The bacon should be cooked, not crisp, and the scallops should be cooked through so they are browned an opaque. If you cook them too long, they will be tough
*If grilling, use the same cooking time and doneness method
