Notes
Measure slices of bacon around your scallops and see how long of a slice you need to go around the scallops to determine how much bacon to cook.
Do not overcook scallops or they become tough and rubbery!
Do NOT skip par cooking bacon or bacon will not be done and scallops will become overdone.
Cook vegetables on different skewers to assure that everything is done to your liking, but nothing becomes overdone.
Vegetables are best cooked to tender crisp stage.
