Uncured Bacon Wrapped Scallops

"Traditionally, the concept of “surf and turf ” has been applied to the joining of steak and lobster. While that’s a perfectly excellent pairing, we’d submit to you that maybe it’s time for that definition to expand a bit. Specifically, we’re talking about the combination of tender, succulent scallops and savory, smoky bacon—the very same that can be found in Trader Joe’s Uncured Bacon Wrapped Scallops. These heat-and-eat hors d’oeuvres truly showcase the power behind this partnership, with the rich flavor and smokehouse aroma of Bacon expertly enhancing the silky texture and delicate, seafoody sweetness of Scallops with every bite. Normally, carefully searing the Scallops and wrapping them in perfectly-prepped Bacon would be a laborious affair—and, often, a costly one, too. But since our supplier has done most of the work for you, all you have to do is heat them in your conventional oven or air fryer until fully cooked, a 15 to 20 minute, extremely low effort process. After that, you’re free to enjoy them as an appetizer for a holiday feast, as an entrée when served over a leafy green salad, or as an especially full-flavored snack, if you happen to be feeling fancy. Just be sure to surf on over to the Trader Joe’s near your home turf to pick up a package of Uncured Bacon Wrapped Scallops before too long. Supplies are limited, and once we’re out, we’re out ‘til next year!"
