Made this tonight for dinner. Used a recipe with some substitutions, as I wanted to wrap the scallops with bacon. It was very good, but the sauce was too thin as I think I didn't cook it down enough. Since I'm on South Beach diet, I did not try to thicken it with flour or cornstarch, which I'm sure would have done the trick..

1/4 cup white wine
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 green onion chopped (recipe called for shallot and I did not have any)
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 tablespoons butter
12 bay scallops
salt and pepper to taste
6 bacon slices

Combine wine, lemon juice and green onion, and cook down. Add cream and cook down to half. Add butter by tablespoons and cook down. Keep warm while you cook scallops.

Slice bacon in half to make 12 shorter slices and cook about half way and wrap around scallops. Brush scallops with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Broil scallops about 2 minutes per side until opaque and a tad brown on the sides. Serve scallops with a spoonful of sauce on top.

And here it is!
