For the Scallops:

2 Tbsp butter or tallow (melted, for brushing)
1 clove garlic, minced
½ tsp smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Toothpicks (for securing bacon)

1 Tbsp butter or tallow

Protein: 29g
Fat: 15g
Carbs: 12g
Preparation
Set the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat scallops dry and season lightly with salt and pepper. Wrap each scallop with half a slice of bacon, securing with a toothpick. Place on the baking sheet.
Mix melted butter with garlic and smoked paprika. Brush over scallops. Roast for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway, until bacon is crisp and scallops are opaque (internal temp 125–130°F).
While scallops roast, heat butter in a skillet over medium. Add garlic, cook for 30 seconds, then toss in green beans. Sauté 4–5 minutes until tender-crisp. Season with lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
Arrange scallops on a platter with green beans. Garnish with parsley and lemon wedges.
