Crisp bacon, tender-melt-in-your mouth scallops with the most heavenly butter sauce. So fancy yet so easy!
Valentine’s Day is tomorrow, and if you still don’t know what you plan on doing, you might have a few tricks up your sleeve….
With these scallops, of course.
I’m dead serious. Don’t worry about getting a reservation for dinner on Sunday. It’ll be a mess anywhere you go.
Just stay in, sear some scallops, add your bacon and a whole mess of butter. Boom. You’re done.

Ingredients
- 4 slices bacon, diced
- 1 pound scallops
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add bacon and cook until brown and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat; reserving 1 tablespoon in the skillet. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate.
Remove the small side muscle from the scallops, rinse with cold water and thoroughly pat dry. Season scallops with salt and pepper, to taste. Working in batches, add scallops to the skillet in a single layer and cook, flipping once, until golden brown and translucent in the center, about 1-2 minutes per side. Set aside and keep warm.
Melt butter in the skillet.Add garlic, oregano, basil and red pepper flakes; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in bacon and scallops.
Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.

The very first bite makes your eyes get big in a delightful and extraordinary way. I followed the directions as printed and our supper way the most elegant and simple meal I’ve ever made. I have saved the recipe in my favorites folder and will repeat this perfect meal again next week.
We had rice pilaf and cooked carrots with warmed apple slices in a maple syrup glaze as sides to go with the scallops.

I could only find small bay scallops, but it didn’t effect the flavor, just the cooking time. I served with crusty bread, but I think I will try it over pasta next time. This was delicious and enjoyed by all!

Made this tonight for dinner. Entire family loved it. Doubled the recipe as it was being served over pasta as a main dish. Took the advice of other reviews and added a spash of wine (white) to deglaze my pan before adding in the butter and a spash of lemon at the end to cut the richness of the bacon and butter a bit. This will definitely become a go to recipe in the future. Quick, easy, customizable! Perfect for my busy household.

I made this dish last night and it was PHENOMENAL!! Very easy to make too, which is important for me:). Thank you for posting this. It will go in my permanent recipe folder! I’ll say a couple things about the recipe. First, I made balsamic mushrooms as a side dish and they went very well with the scallops. Second, next time I make it I’ll probably only do 1/4 cup of butter instead of 1/2 cup. The 1/2 cup seemed a little much when it was all done. Third, next time I’d like to serve the scallops over whipped potatoes. I think the potatoes will help soak up the extra butter and goodness from the sauce. Thanks again for posting this!

I made this last night for dinner. I threw in some shrimp and used fresh sea scallops. In one word….outstanding! My wife loved it too. Served them with fresh sautéed red bell peppers, zucchini, and mushrooms. It was definitely, “Damn Delicious!”

Yum! I think I need to throw some shrimp in the mix here, too! Perfect indulgence for Valentine’s Day!

These scallops looks fabulous! Chungah, do you think I could substitute just a few drops of Sriracha for the crushed red pepper flakes? Thanks for taking the time to answer!

Been using this recipe for years with oysters and shrimp. We are just a short hop to the Gulf. It is wonderful. For a twist, drizzle a little Hollandaise sauce over the top at the table. Wow!

A creamy Risotto goes well with scallops.

I like to sauté corn on the cob in the butter broth after removing the scallops! Mmm!

Are these sea scallops or bay scallops?
-
Chungah — February 13, 2016 @ 9:54 AM Reply
Lisa, you can use either/or – but bay scallops will require less time to cook through.

Oh well, I was going to roast a chicken tonight, and now I have to go out in zero degree weather to buy local scallops……

Well now, That is a problem! Why not have the scallops and the chicken? I bet you are a 300 pounder so it is achievable.
