Tips for perfect baked scallops:
- Ensure scallops are fully thawed prior to cooking. This prevents them from releasing too much moisture during cooking.
- Make sure to pat scallops dry prior to wrapping in bacon.
- Do not overcook scallops. This leads to a chewy texture. Scallops will be opaque when fully cooked.
