Bacon Wrapped Shrimp and Scallops

Ever find a recipe you like and don't want to lose? I have had this one on the shelf for almost 4 years now and have been meaning to get it posted in this blog before it comes up missing! From Foodnetwork.com's Rachel Ray:

12 jumbo raw peeled deveined shrimp, 16 to 20 count per pound
12 large sea scallops, trimmed and well drained
1 lime, juiced and zested
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon grill seasoning or coarse salt and black pepper
1 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
12 slices center cut or applewood smoked bacon, cut in 1/2
toothpicks
3 scallions, very thinly sliced on an angle

Preheat oven to 425 degrees

Place shrimp and scallops in a shallow dish or bowl. Dress seafood with lime juice and zest, a generous drizzle of sesame oil, grill seasoning and hot pepper flakes. Wrap each shrimp and scallop with a half slice of bacon. Wrap each shrimp working from head to tail, pulling bacon snugly around the shrimp. Wrap the bacon around the outside of each scallop. Fasten bacon in place as necessary with picks.

Arrange the shrimp and scallops on a slotted baking pan, such as a broiler pan to allow draining while bacon crisps. Bake shrimp and scallops 10 to 14 minutes until shrimp is pink and curled, scallops are opaque and bacon is crisp. Shrimps may finish before the scallops.

Arrange cooked seafood on platter and sprinkle with chopped scallions.
