  • 14 slices packaged precooked bacon from 2.1-oz package
  • Fresh orange curls if desired

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 425°F. Line 15x10x1-inch pan with cooking parchment paper. In medium bowl, mix orange juice, brown sugar, orange peel, ginger and garlic. Add scallops; toss to coat.
  • Place 1 scallop in each mushroom cap. Wrap each with 1 bacon slice, enclosing scallop. Secure with toothpick. Dip in orange juice mixture; place in pan.

Notes

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens
tip 1
Look for precooked bacon in the meat department of the grocery store. It gets nice and crispy when baked.
tip 2
If small portabella mushrooms are not available, 1 1/2- to 2-inch white mushrooms will work fine.
