Sheet Pan Bacon-Wrapped Scallops and Asparagus

Simple, healthy, tasty. Those are my three favorite cooking words. Also quick, colorful and easy (to make). Last week I put this dinner together in literally 30 minutes. Delicious and memorable. Maybe even company-worthy. This recipe is made for two. Double, triple or quadruple for a larger crowd.

Ingredients:

10 large scallops
5 slices bacon
1/2 – 1 pound fresh asparagus
kosher salt & fresh ground pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 450
2. Cut bacon in half, cross-wise, so you have 10 pieces
3. Wrap bacon around scallop, place ends side down on sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Place bacon-wrapped scallops on right side
4. Rinse asparagus, pat dry. Place on left side of sheet pan. Drizzle olive oil, and sprinkle kosher salt and pepper on asparagus.
5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until bacon is crispy. Serve immediately! Bon Appetit! Enjoy!
