Appetizer

PRO/FATS - LEVEL ONE

Makes 4 servings

These scallops can be served as an appetizer with Somersize Chipotle BBQ Sauce or placed on some fresh greens for a beautiful salad. For variety you can also make this recipe using large, peeled shrimp instead of the scallops.

Prep time: 5 minutes

Cooking time: 8-10 minutes

Peanut or vegetable oil for frying

12 large scallops, about 2-inches across

1-2 tablespoons Somersize Red Thai Curry Sea Salt Rub

12pieces thinly-sliced bacon, uncooked Somersize Chipotle BBQ Sauce, for dipping

Preheat oil in the Somersize Electronic Deep Fryer to 320° F.

Blot scallops with paper towels to dry. Sprinkle salt rub all over scallops.

Wrap a slice of bacon around each scallop and secure with a toothpick. Place ½ of the scallops into Frying Basket and lower basket into hot oil. Fry until bacon is crisp, 4-5 minutes. Drain (on paper towels). Repeat with remaining scallops. Serve immediately with Somersize Chipotle BBQ Sauce.
