- Clean your scallops thoroughly and set them aside for later.
- In a bowl, mix 150 ml of olive oil, chopped parsley (1 tbsp), and 1 minced garlic clove. Add the scallops to this mixture and marinate for 1 hour.
- Take a slice of smoked bacon and wrap it tightly around each scallop.
- Cut the green bell pepper into squares, aiming for about twelve pieces for the skewers.
- On skewers, alternate threading the green pepper pieces, scallops wrapped in bacon, and cherry tomatoes until all ingredients are used up.
- In a large, hot skillet, add a little olive oil and sear the skewers, marking them on both sides until the scallops are cooked through.
- Serve the skewers on a plate, drizzling them with the pan oil to keep them moist. Don't forget to add a few tablespoons of garlic aioli on the side for dipping!
