Ingredients

  •  2 Tablespoons Danish Creamery Butter
  •  ¼ cup honey
  •  2 Tablespoons hot sauce
  •  12 slices standard-cut bacon
  •  1 pound large sea scallops (about 12)
  •  Kosher salt
  •  freshly ground black pepper
  •  lime wedges, for serving

Directions

  • Preheat grill to medium-low heat.
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add honey and hot sauce and heat until combined, about 2 minutes. Keep warm.
  • Grill bacon for about 5 minutes, watching closely and moving to indirect heat if needed, until cooked through but still very pliable. Transfer to a plate and let rest until just cool enough to handle.
  • Season scallops with salt and pepper. Wrap a piece of bacon around the edge of a scallop, overlapping at the ends, then thread onto a skewer. Repeat with remaining scallops, fitting 3 per skewer. Brush all over with butter butter glaze; reserving some for basting.
  • Grill skewers for 3- 4 minutes per side, basting halfway in between, until scallops are just opaque and bacon is crisp.
  • Transfer to a platter and serve with lime wedges.
