How to cook deliciously - Bacon-Wrapped Scallops with Pineapple Quinoa

1. Stage

In a small saucepan, bring broth to a boil. Add quinoa, salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, 12-15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.

Meanwhile, place bacon in a large nonstick skillet. Cook over medium heat, removing 8 of the strips when partially cooked but not crisp. Continue cooking remaining strips until crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain. Finely chop crisp bacon strips. Cut remaining bacon strips lengthwise in half.

3. Stage

Wrap a halved bacon strip around each scallop; secure with a toothpick. Sprinkle with remaining pepper.

Wipe the pan clean, if necessary; heat over medium-high heat. Add scallops; cook 3-4 minutes on each side or until scallops are firm and opaque.
