Bourbon-Bacon Scallops

Description
This seafood-based skewer is made with bourbon whiskey and real bacon, enriched with Dijon mustard, and grilled to red-hot perfection.

Ingredients

 * 3 tbsp minced green onions
 * 2 tbsp. bourbon whiskey
 * 2 tbsp. maple syrup
 * 1 tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce
 * 1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
 * ¼ tsp. pepper
 * 24 large sea scallops (about 1½-pounds)
 * 6 low-sodium bacon slices (4-ounces)
 * cooking spray

Directions

 * 1) Combine first 6 ingredients in a bowl; stir well.
 * 2) Add scallops, stirring gently to coat.
 * 3) Cover and marinate in refrigerator 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
 * 4) Remove scallops from bowl, reserving marinade. Cut each slice of bacon into 4 pieces.
 * 5) Wrap 1 bacon piece around each scallop (bacon might only wrap halfway around scallops if they are very large).
 * 6) Thread scallops onto 4 (12-inch) skewers, leaving some space between scallops so bacon will cook.
 * 7) Place skewers on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray; broil 8 minutes or until bacon is crisp and scallops are done, basting occasionally with reserved marinade (cooking time will vary greatly with size of scallops). Serve hot with rice.
