Marinade for Scallop Skewers

• 1/4 c. bourbon
• 1/4 c. chopped scallions
• 2 tbsp. maple syrup
• 1 tbsp. soy sauce
• 2 tsp. Dijon mustard
• 1/4 tsp. ground pepper
• 1 lb. sea scallops
• 1/4 lb. slices bacon - 3 in.

1. In a bowl, combine the bourbon, scallions, maple syrup, soy sauce, mustard, and pepper. Stir in the scallops. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
2. Prepare the grill or heat the broiler. Wrap the scallops in bacon and thread on skewers. Grill or broil 4 inches from the heat, turning once, until the bacon is crisp and the scallops are opaque, about 5 minutes.
