Scallops

• Marinated Scallops Wrapped in Bacon
  
• 3/4 cup of maple syrup
  
• 1/4 c low sodium soy sauce
  
• 1 TBS Dijon mustard
  
• 12 large scallops, halved
  
• 12 slices smoked bacon, halved
  
• 24 toothpicks
  
• 2 TBS of brown sugar
  

Stir together maple syrup, soy sauce and mustard until smooth.

Add the scallops, toss to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and marinate for at least 1 hour. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Arrange bacon on baking sheet so that they don't overlap.

Bake for about 8 minutes, bacon should still be soft. Take bacon off sheet and pat dry, removing all excess grease from bacon and baking sheet. Wrap each scallop with a piece of bacon, securing with a toothpick. Place scallops on baking sheet and sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake scallops in preheated oven for 10-15 minutes or until bacon is crispy and scallops are opaque, turning scallops once.
