Servings          
Original recipe makes 6
12 slicesbacon; cut in half
24 largesea scallops; (2 pounds)
1 cupMaple syrup
2 tablespoonsbutter; melted
1 teaspoonorange rind; grated
3 tablespoonsFresh orange juice
1/8 teaspoonSalt
orange wedges; to garnish

Maple-Glazed Scallops Preparation

Partially cook bacon in a large skillet. Wrap each scallop with 1 half slice bacon. Set aside.

Bring syrup to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, uncovered, until reduced to 2/3 cup (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat; stir in butter and next 3 ingredients.

Thread bacon-wrapped scallops onto 12 (10- to 12-inch) skewers; brush syrup mixture over kabobs. Coat grill grate with vegetable cooking spray; place on grill over medium-high heat (350 to 400 degrees). Place kabobs on grate. Grill kabobs, covered with grill lid, 3 to 4 minutes on each side or just until scallops are opaque, basting often. Garnish, if desired.

Notes

To prevent scallops from rotating on the skewer, use 2 skewers for each kabob.
