Bourbon Bacon Scallops

2 tablespoons bourbon
3 tablespoons minced green onion
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon soy sauce -- low sodium
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon pepper
24 large scallops
6 slices bacon

Combine first 6 ingredients in a bowl, stir well. Add scallops.

Marinate in refrigerator one hour, stirring occasionally. Remove scallops, reserve marinade. Cut each slice of bacon into 4 pieces.

Wrap 1 bacon piece around each scallop. Bacon might only wrap halfway around scallops if they are very large.

Thread scallops onto 4 (12-inch) skewers, leaving some space so bacon will cook.

Place skewers on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray.

Broil 8 minutes or until bacon is crisp and scallops are done, basting with reserved marinade.
