Bacon Wrapped Sea Scallops Cooking Instructions:
Cook from frozen. Not recommended for the microwave.
Oven: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Remove package from freezer and let stand 5 minutes to allow the scallops to be easily removed from the inner tray. Remove all packaging and place scallops in a single layer on a baking tray. Be careful not to overcrowd the scallops. Cook for 20-25 minutes, turning once after 10 minutes, until scallops and bacon are cooked to preferred doneness. Serve immediately.
Grill: Pre-heat grill to medium-high heat. Remove all packaging and place on the grill, leaving a bit of space between scallops. Grill for approximately 8-10 minutes, turning frequently, or until the bacon is crisp and scallops are cooked.
