This breakfast is legendary in the east end of London

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: pork belly

Turkey bacon reduces fat while maintaining flavor.

scallops

🥗Healthier: shrimp

💰Cheaper: fish

Shrimp can be more affordable and still provide a seafood option.

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Pat the scallops dry with paper towels.

Season the scallops with salt, black pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Wrap each scallop with a slice of bacon, securing with a toothpick.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Sear the bacon-wrapped scallops for 2-3 minutes on each side until the bacon is crispy.

Transfer the scallops to a baking dish once seared.

Melt butter in the same skillet and add minced garlic, cooking until fragrant.

Pour the garlic butter over the scallops in the baking dish.

Sprinkle with paprika and chili flakes for added flavor.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the scallops are opaque and cooked through.

Garnish with chopped parsley and sliced green onions before serving.
