The trick of pre-cooking the bacon lets the bacon get done without overcooking the scallops. This was a great idea that I've added to my bag of tricks.

I am definitely going to make this next time I have people over. It's easy and foolproof since the scallops and bacon are both done in the oven. I loved the sauce - it's creamy, thick and makes beautiful decoration.
