Bacon-Wrapped Scallops with Beurre Blanc (page 154)

The seared sea scallop recipe is so good, I wonder why Hamersley felt compelled to include another scallop recipe.  This one is equally good and the preparation no more involved.  I was a bit nervous that my scallops would overcook while I was making the beurre blanc but they were fine.  The only note you should add to this recipe, if you haven't already done so, is that "1 shallot = 1 tablespoon" or your beurre blanc will be chunky and too strongly flavored. 

The bottom line:  If I were serving scallops for company, I would go with the Seared Sea Scallops (page 152) as there is less last minute preparation.
