BACON WRAPPED SCALLOPS (And Green Bean Almondine) 24 large sea scallops (about 2 lb.) 12 slices bacon salt seasoned pepper 1 lb. green beans 3 Tbsp. sliced blanched almonds 2 Tbsp. butter or margarine 1/2 c. water radish sprouts or watercress for garnish Rinse scallops with cold running water; pat dry with paper towels. Cut each bacon slice crosswise in half; wrap each scallop in bacon, securing with a toothpick. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper; set aside. Cut each green bean in half lengthwise; set aside. In large skillet over medium heat, cook almonds until golden, shaking skillet frequently. Remove almonds to plate. In same skillet over medium heat, in hot butter, cook green beans and 3/4 teaspoon salt until beans are lightly browned. Add water; over high heat, heat to boiling. Reduce to low heat, cover and simmer 10 minutes or until beans are tender-crisp, stirring occasionally. Keep warm. Meanwhile, preheat broiler. Place scallops on rack in broiling pan with bacon facing up. Broil 8 to 10 minutes, until scallops turn opaque, turning frequently so bacon browns evenly on all sides. To serve, remove toothpicks from scallops. Arrange scallops and beans on warm large platter and garnish with watercress or radish sprouts. Serves 6.
