Ingredients:

• 8 large sea scallops (1 pound)
• Kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 8 thick-cut bacon slices (about 8 ounces)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Cooking Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Set a rack on a rimmed baking sheet.
2. Season the scallops with salt and pepper and wrap each in 1 slice of bacon, securing it with a toothpick. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with the butter. Roast for 18 to 20 minutes, until the bacon and scallops are cooked through. Serve warm.
