Sizzling Scallop Sensation: A Burst of Flavor

Ingredients

• 5 strips of savory bacon
• 1 tbsp of flavorful bacon drippings
• 2 tbsp of creamy butter
• 2 ¼ tsp of aromatic garlic salt
• 1 lb of succulent sea scallops
• 2 tbsp of zesty horseradish sauce

Step 1

In a spacious skillet, sizzle the bacon over medium-high heat until it turns delightfully crispy, which usually takes around 10 minutes. Once done, let it rest on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil, but remember to keep a tablespoon of those precious bacon drippings aside. After the bacon cools down, crumble it into delectable bits.

Step 2

Prepare your oven for broiling by adjusting the rack to about 6 inches from the heat source for optimal results.

Step 3

In another skillet, warm up the reserved bacon drippings over medium heat. Infuse the sizzling drippings with butter and a hint of garlic salt, letting the butter slowly dissolve into a rich, flavorful concoction. Gently coat the scallops in this buttery elixir until they sport a lovely golden hue on each side, usually taking about 4 minutes for each. Once perfectly seared, delicately transfer the scallops into a baking dish. Pour the luscious butter sauce over them, followed by a drizzle of zesty horseradish sauce and a generous sprinkle of the crumbled bacon.

Step 4

Slide the baking dish under the broiler that's all fired up and watch as the sauce dances and bubbles, which typically takes just a minute to achieve a mouthwatering finish.
