Bacon Wrapped Scallops: 10 Minutes

Yep ~ I finally did it! Mom came to town so I figured I would splurge a little and make some bacon wrapped scallops, a lil more asparagus and some fresh grown sweet potatoes from Dad's garden! Oh and I can't forget the salad I always feel the need to create :)

For this awesome dinner, you will need:

Bacon

Fresh scallops, not frozen ;\

Toothpicks (which I almost forgot)

Asparagus

Sweet Potatoes

Aluminum Foil

A lil butter

A lil brown sugar

I'm totally skipping the aspargus preparation and the salad... because I post those all the time now

*** First *** you must know the sweet potatoes take a long time so if you want these, get them started way early. Foil wrap the sweet potatoes and bake in the oven @ 375 for about 40 minutes

1.  Pre-heat the bacon for a minute or two in the microwave covered with paper towels
2. Cut the bacon in half and wrap each scallops, then toothpick them so it WORKS
3. Spray Pam the baking sheet and broil on HI for about 3-4 minutes on each side.
   DO NOT FORGET TO FLIP THEM!! You will burn them silly!
4. When you're sweet potatoes are finished, I like to heat up a little bit of butter and brown sugar in the microwave for about 45 seconds (or until it's melted) and top it on the potatoes ~ Yum

That is alllllll it takes for this meal. Side note: Scallops are great topped with a little black pepper (but I don't even like that stuff.) Also teriyaki goes great with scallops, but I'm just trying to cook without.
