Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375º. Grease a 9x13 baking dish.
Pre-fry the bacon slices just until it gets some color and is still limp and soft leaving it flexible enough to wrap around the scallops.
Melt the butter in a small bowl. Add garlic, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper and stir well.
Set half of this mixture aside for later. Dip each scallop in melted butter/garlic mixture.
Wrap a half-strip bacon around each scallop; secure with toothpick pushing it all the way through the scallop.
Arrange the wrapped scallops on the greased baking dish. Bake on middle rack for about 15 minutes or until the scallops are done and bacon is crisp.
Place scallops in a large bowl and pour remaining butter/garlic mixture over the scallops and toss gently to coat.
