Bacon-Wrapped Scallops with Habanero Mayo Dipping Sauce

Bacon wrapped Scallops

Here is another delicious, yet simple recipe from The Food Addicts. Check out the entire posting on their site here.

Here’s what they have put together:
For something that is so simple, it is unbelievably tasty. At first I was thinking – what is so special about bacon-wrapped scallops? There’s not much to it, except wrapping cooked bacon around some scallops. Right? But when I took my first bite into this delectable appetizer, I was in heaven.

We wanted to share this simple go-to dish that is a great idea for dinner parties, potlucks, cocktail events, or better yet – the upcoming SUPERBOWL! We paired the bacon-wrapped scallops with a spicy habanero-mayo dipping sauce. Be creative with your dipping sauce – and if you can’t think of anything, we are sure you will be pleased with eating them by itself!

We used sea scallops that were about 1.5 inches and took pre-cooked bacon and wrapped them around the scallops. Then, we used tookthpicks to secure them, like shown.

Next, sprinkle the scallops with a little sea salt and cook them on a pan for about 3-4 minutes each side until they get nice and brown.

For the dipping sauce, we just used 1 tbsp of Cayenne Habanero Sauce from All Spice Cafe and mixed it with 3 tbsp light mayo. The mayo helps reduce the amount of heat, and also gives it a creamy texture.

The texture of the scallops and the saltiness of the bacon work so well together. It’s not difficult to make and doesn’t take a lot of time to prep. These are definitely perfect finger food that is sure to be a crowd pleaser! (Okay, I think we need to make more… I’m salivating).

Grilled Skewered Shrimp

Grilled Skewered Shrimp

Here is another recipe from Cooking Outdoors. This time Gary is doing grilled shrimp with foil cooked veggies and rice. Check out his full recipe posting on the Taste of Home Community site.

What’s fast and easy to cook, looks like you payed big bucks at a fancy restaurant? Why it’s grilled Skewered Shrimp and Foil Cooked Vegetables and it is fast, easy, virtually no clean up and tastes fantastic. If you have a grill, foil, a few bamboo skewers and a cast iron skillet then you have the making of a great meal. This can easily be done over a live fire and coals in your backyard fire pit or at a tailgating event.

All of the ingredients took just a few minutes to prep and the cooking time varied from 35 minutes for the rice to about 5 minutes for the shrimp. So from starting the grill to dinner table you are looking at about 1 hour tops and worth every minute of cooking time.
_____

Foil Cooked Vegetables

Foil Cooked Vegetables

• broccoli
• bell peppers
• onions
• olive oil
• salt
• pepper

Just slice them all up, sprinkle them with some olive oil, salt and pepper, then wrap them in a double layer of foil. Cook till tender, about 15 minutes or longer depending on the doneness that you are looking for.

_____

Foil Cooked Rice

Rice

• red onions
• garlic
• olive oil
• rice
• water

Cooking the rice was just as easy and all you need is a Cast iron skillet for the grill (if you want). I use Cast iron on my grills all the time, just think of your grill as a stove top and it opens up a whole new world of possibilities.

Chop up some red onions and garlic then saute them in the skillet over coals until just tender with some olive oil. Take a double layer of foil and make a pouch, add your rice, water, onions and garlic. Seal tight and cook for 15 – 20 minutes. Yep, that easy.

_____

Skewered Shrimp

Shrimp

• shrimp
• Caribbean Spice Sauce

My secret ingredient for the whole recipe is All Spice Cafe’s Caribbean Spice Sauce which I used for marinating the shrimp.

Shrimp were skewered after marinating for 30 minutes (soak your bamboo skewers in water at the same time). I wrapped the ends of the skewers with foil to keep them from burning. Cook time 5 minutes.

So that’s the gist of it! I prepped everything in advance while the coals were heating up. Then started the onions and mushrooms because the rice was the first thing to start on the grill. Vegetables were next then the shrimp and it was fast cooking once the shrimp hit the grill. I cooked everything over direct heat and turned the foil pouches and shrimp only once. No sense in straining myself and it’s best to let the grill do the work!
