Ingredients
Bacon-Wrapped Digby Scallops
- 12 large Digby scallops, rinsed and dried
- Chipotle Mango BBQ sauce
- 12 strips thin sliced bacon - can be partially pre cooked to ensure extra crispness
- 12 wooden toothpicks
- Lettuce leaves, for serving
Chipotle Mango BBQ Sauce
- 1 chipotle pepper (canned in adobo)
- 1 mango, peeled cored and cubed
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1 lime
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tbsp packed brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
Directions
Bacon-Wrapped Digby Scallops
Preheat oven to 425°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Brush scallops on all sides with the Chipotle Mango BBQ sauce. Wrap 1 piece of bacon around each scallop and secure through the center with a wooden toothpick.
Place the bacon-wrapped scallops onto the prepared baking sheet. Cook them under the broiler for about 15-18 minutes, or until scallops are opaque and bacon is crisp—turning once mid-way through.
To serve, line a platter with lettuce leaves and place the bacon-wrapped scallops on top.
Chipotle Mango BBQ Sauce
Place the chipotle pepper, cubed mango, garlic clove, and lime juice into a food processor. Process on high until minced. Add remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. Yields 1 and 1/2 cups of sauce so can be used for more than 12 scallops.
