Sea Scallops Roasted in Bacon

Marinade
1/4 C. reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 Tbsp. dark brown sugar
2 Tbsp. dry sherry
1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
1 Tbsp. Asian sesame oil
2 tea. minced fresh ginger
1/8 tea. red pepper flakes
Salt to taste

Scallops
24 lrg. sea scallops, rinsed, and muscle removed if necessary
8 slices bacon, each slice cut into thirds

In a bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients. Add the scallops and stir to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 min.

Heat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Drain the scallops, reserving the marinade, and wrap each one in a piece of the bacon, securing it with a wooden pick. Arrange the scallops on a rack in a shallow roasting pan and roast, turning frequently and basting with the reserved marinade, for 15 min., or until the bacon is crisp and the scallops are just cooked. Serve immediately.
