BACON WRAPPED SCALLOPS I

Category: Seafood

3/4 lb bacon
1 lb sea scallops, rinsed and patted dry
1 cup ketchup
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup white vinegar

Preheat the oven to 425. Cut the bacon slices in half crosswise. Roll a piece of bacon around each scallop and secure with a wooden toothpick; place on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the scallops are cooked through and the bacon is crisp.

Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, and vinegar over medium heat; mix well and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until the sugar is dissolved. Dip the bacon-wrapped scallops in the sauce and serve with the remaining sauce.
