Barbecued Piggy Scallops

Ingredients

 * 12 	slices bacon, rind removed
 * 24 	large scallops, shelled
 * black pepper, to taste
 * 1 	teaspoon freshly chopped parsley
 * 2 	lemons, juice only
 * 2 	ounces unsalted butter, melted

Directions
Place the melted butter, lemon juice, pepper and parsley in a large bowl and mix well. Add the scallops and turn to coat. Cut each bacon rasher in half widthwise and then wrap each scallop in half a rasher of bacon, threading them onto skewers as you go and reserving any remaining butter mixture. Cook over hot coals for 3-4 minutes each side, basting with the remaining butter mixture, until the bacon is crisp and golden brown. To serve- transfer the skewers to a serving platter and drizzle any remaining butter mixture over the top. Serve immediately.
