Barbecued scallops wrapped in bacon

Light the BBQ coals and waite about 20 min's for grey ash to appear all over the top and flames to die down. Alternatively preheat a griddle pan on a moderately hot flame.

Cut the large scallops in half, horizontally, to make 2 discs. Place a couple of herb leaves between two slices of scallop.

Cut a bacon strip in half and stretch one half around the scallops. Then wrap the other half of bacon across the first to enclose the scallop.

Thread the scallops onto pre-soaked wooden skewers, brush with the garlic, herb or chili flavoured oil and place onto a prepared (foil-lined) barbecue or onto a griddle pan.

Cook for 3-4 minutes, turning several times, until the bacon starts to go crispy.

Serve immediately.

I cooked this for my dive buddies last summer on a throw away BBQ at the Freshwater Campsite, served on a bed of Tagliatelle with a tomatoe and Mozzarella salad... and a few bottles of Beck's!

Keith kindly supplied the scallops as I am useless at finding the things!
