Directions

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.
