My current way is a screaming hot cast iron pan, little bit of EVOO and some butter, wrap the scallops in a piece of good bacon and sear them 2 minutes a side. Then I throw them on the Traeger at 300 for a couple of minutes. Haven't ever had a bad one yet.

I am all ears to how you all cook them though.

The trick with bacon-wrapped scallops, is to use the precooked bacon. Otherwise, either the bacon is not cooked, or the scallops are overcooked. Tip from sitka deer.

When I do them thataway, I just use a hot grill for a couple minutes per side. Just enough to put scorch marks on them.

I'd post pics, but can't do that from my tablet.
