Bacon Wrapped Sea Scallops with Dijon Mustard

• 5 slices bacon
• 1 lb extra large sea scallops
• Dijon mustard, to taste
• toothpicks
• fresh parsley, to taste

Partially cook bacon in oven-safe skillet over medium high heat; set skillet aside, reserving bacon drippings.

Meanwhile, wash scallops in cold water and pat dry. Brush each scallop with Dijon Mustard. Cut each strip of bacon in half and wrap around scallop, securing with a toothpick. Return skillet to stovetop and lightly sauté scallops until browned on both sides.

Once scallops are sautéed, broil in oven for approximately 5-6 minutes or until cooked through. Top with parsley before serving.
