Try this with prosciutto, instead of bacon. It's thinner and cooks faster. Instead of a toothpick, use a sprig of rosemary. Dab each wrapped scallop with olive oil and grind some pepper on them.

Which means they're fresh and never been frozen. When they freeze them, they add water. Not living on the coast, I don't believe I've ever found dry ones. Ours are always frozen.

Cookie (actually more of a chef) just sauteed them lightly in clarified butter...he said regular butter would scorch and be bitter. They were very pale when done, only a hint of brown. Deglazed the pan with vermouth, and drizzled the pan mixture over the platter. Fit for kings. Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.
