Bacon isn't supposed to be a staple of a diet, but a beautiful and necessary escape for those who choose wisely to indulge with care. Besides, the human body REQUIRES both sodium and fats to properly operate. Can you think of a better way to get both? Besides, it's low carb!
With that said, Bacon wrapped jumbo sea scallops, add a little cajun seasoning and grill away. Best kabob ever.
Bacon... it's the 5th food group. |
It's not that I don't love bacon, it's that I cannot eat it. Fat=GERD, and trust me, I don't want to waste an entire day in pain because I couldn't say no to bacon. Occasionally I indulge with one piece, but like I said, I usually just order Canadian bacon.
As for the bacon wrapped sea scallops...yum yum, one of my favorite appetizers! I definitely cannot resist bacon if it's wrapped around a scallop or pineapple--though I only have one.
I'm glad to see that Alton Brown's recipe for bacon was mentioned--it is by far the easiest way to prepare bacon imaginable. It allows for the perfect amount of crispiness to be attained.
