Maple Bacon Wrapped Scallops

Cook bacon for a few minutes until almost done but still pliable.

Pat dry scallops and season with salt and pepper.

Wrap half a piece of bacon around each scallop and secure with a toothpick.

Add oil to a skillet and once hot, add the scallops spread apart.

Cook for 2 minutes per side on medium-high heat.

Transfer to a serving platter and drizzle with maple syrup.

Optionally, garnish with pomegranate seeds.
