Before starting, preheat the oven to 450ºF.Wash and dry all produce. Cut bacon strips into thirds.Using a strainer, drain and rinse scallops, then pat dry with paper towels. Season scallops with salt and pepper.
Wrap a piece of bacon around each scallop. (TIP: Any leftover bacon can be cooked separately on the baking sheet and enjoyed as snack!)Transfer scallops to a foil-lined baking sheet, with bacon seam side down. (NOTE: If you have toothpicks, place one in the middle of each bacon-wrapped scallop to secure it.)
Roast in the middle of the oven until bacon is crisp and scallops are golden-brown, 12-14 min.Meanwhile, peel, then mince or grate half the garlic.Roughly chop parsley.Melt 1 tbsp butter in a small bowl in the microwave. Add garlic and half the parsley, then season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
Transfer scallops to a paper-towel lined plate, then transfer to a serving plate. Brush garlic butter over top of scallops, then sprinkle remaining parsley over top. (TIP: Bacon-wrapped scallops are best served warm!)
