A delightful appetizer featuring tender scallops wrapped in crispy bacon, enhanced with a garlic butter glaze.
Preheat your oven's broiler to high and line a baking sheet with foil.
Using foil makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking.
Cut each bacon slice in half and wrap each piece around a scallop, securing with a toothpick.
Ensure the bacon overlaps slightly to stay secure during cooking.
Place the bacon-wrapped scallops on the prepared baking sheet.
Space them evenly to allow for even cooking.
Broil the scallops about 5 inches from the heat source for 3 minutes per side, or until the bacon is crispy.
Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, then add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
Stir constantly to avoid burning the garlic.
Add the chicken broth to the skillet, bring to a boil, and let it cook for 2 minutes.
Reduce slightly to concentrate the flavors.
Transfer the broiled scallops to a serving bowl and drizzle the garlic butter sauce over them.
Gently toss to ensure even coating.
Serve the scallops warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Presentation is key; arrange them neatly on a platter.
