Ingredients:  
12 slices of bacon, cut in half lengthwise
24 medium size scallops, or prawns
10 tablespoon butter
6 cloves garlic, pressed
Dash of cayenne pepper (optional)
salt
pepper
toothpicks
Directions:
Directions:
Grease a 9 x 13 baking dish. If you want to make cleanup easier, you can line a baking dish with foil (shiny side down) and grease the foil.
Cut the bacon slices in half so you have 24 pieces.
Pre-fry the bacon, just until it gets some color and is still limp and soft so that it is still flexible enough to wrap around the seafood.
Melt the butter in a small bowl. Add garlic, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper (if using) and stir well. Set half of the butter/garlic mixture aside for later. Dip each scallop in the melted butter sauce. Wrap a strip of bacon around each scallop or prawn and secure with a toothpick, all the way through. Arrange in the greased baking dish. Bake at 375°, on the middle rack, for around 15 minutes (or until the scallops are done and the bacon is crisp.
Place scallops in a large bowl and pour remaining butter sauce over the scallops and toss gently to coat. Serve with a good cocktail sauce for dipping.

Personal Notes:
I made this recipe for our 2014 Academy Awards party. I used half scallops and half prawns. It must’ve been a hit because there weren’t any leftovers.
