Ingredients:
- 6 Tablespoons of olive oil

- 1 clove of crushed garlic
- 1 teaspoon of grated lemon zest
- 2 Tablespoons of lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon of fresh rosemary
- 1 small red chile, fresh
- 6 slices of bacon or prosciutto
- 16 sea scallops, fresh
Directions:
- Soak 16 wooden or bamboo toothpicks for 6 minutes in cold water.
- Pulse the olive oil, basil, garlic, lemon zest, rosemary, lemon juice, and chile in a blender until its consistency is smooth. Pour contents into a glass measuring cup and set to the side.
- Cut each bacon slice lengthwise into 2 or 3 pieces; then, wrap a piece of bacon around each scallop and secure with a toothpick.
- Put the scallops on a plate and glaze them with ¼ cup of dressing (this will be roughly half of the whole amount).
- Spray 2 nonstick skillets with olive oil cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat.
- Cook each scallop for 4 to 6 minutes; cook on the sides that have the bacon until the bacon is slightly charred and the scallops are thoroughly cooked.
- Place scallops on a plate and drizzle with the remaining dressing.
