Bacon-Wrapped Scallops

Ingredients

• ½ gallon vegetable oil for frying
• 1 cup teriyaki glaze
• ½ cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• ½ pound bacon
• 1 pound of scallops (20 to 30)

Procedures

1. Heat oil in a deep fryer or other pot to 350 degrees, making sure that the pot is large enough that the oil doesn't fill it more than halfway.
2. Combine teriyaki glaze, soy sauce and sugar in a medium bowl. Set aside.
3. Cut bacon strips in half lengthwise.
4. Wrap each scallop with one of these half strips of bacon, and secure by skewering with a wooden toothpick.
5. Working in batches so as not to crowd the fryer, fry the scallops until golden brown, about 4 minutes.
6. Remove from oil, drain briefly and toss in the soy-teriyaki sauce.
7. Serve immediately.
