Bacon Scallop Lollipops with Honey Sriracha Glaze
Want to be the most popular person at the party? Serve these Bacon Scallop Lollipops and watch it happen. Big, juicy scallops are wrapped in bacon, dipped in a honey sriracha glaze, then broiled until the bacon is crisp and the scallops are perfectly cooked. They are irresistible.
In case you haven't guessed by looking at the picture, these bacon wrapped scallops should be your go-to party appetizer.
They are super easy to make, can be prepped ahead of time, and (most importantly) and insanely delicious.
How to make bacon scallop lollipops
1. Prep the bacon. Cut the bacon in half then cook it for a few minutes while the oven is preheating. You don't want it fully-cooked, just a little. Cooking the bacon first means the scallops won't overcook.
2. Wrap the scallops. Let the bacon cool for a minute then wrap it around the scallops. I find it easier to cut a little off the bacon so that each strip is the same height as the scallops. I save the little scraps and have them for breakfast. Twist a toothpick through the scallop to hold the bacon in place.
3. Make the glaze. Mix some honey, sriracha, and lime juice in a small bowl. Dip each lollipop in the glaze.
4. Broil the bacon scallop lollipops. You may want to take the battery out of your smoke alarm, or at the very least open the window. There will be a bit of smoke. It's par for course when broiling these babies.
5.Ā Eeeeeaaat. All. The. Scallops. Repeat.

- Cut the bacon in half then place them on a baking sheet in a single layer. Place the bacon in your oven for 5-6 minutes on the middle rack, while your oven is heating up.

Broil for another 5 minutes then serve right away.
These were a huge hit! Made them for my family and everyone loved them. The only thing I’d do differently next time is make more!
These look and sound amazing! Guessing no way to make ahead of time and warm up?
No these are best if eaten fresh. But you can assemble them ahead of time and cook them right before serving. š
