How to Cook Oak-Smoked Queenies
- Mix together the sherry and the sugar then add the queen scallops. Allow to marinade for at least an hour. Cut the bacon rashers (slices) in half lengthways then again in half across the width (4 strips of bacon from each rasher). Place one queen scallop onto a water chestnut and wrap around the circular side with a strip of oak-smoked bacon, securing with a toothpick or skewer. Do the same for each queenie. Grill (broil) all of the queenie parcels until the bacon is cooked - about 5 - 6 minutes. Serve hot with a little Basmati rice.

If you can't get oak-smoked bacon, you can use any smoked bacon. It won't be quite the same, but it will still taste good.
Reviews of Oak-Smoked Queenies
![]() When I think of these, I immediately start humming the Frankie Valli song, "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You" because as soon as these are cooked and on the plate I really can't take my eyes off them. They are, as the song says, "Too Good To Be True". These are monsters in the nicest possible way. I love them! Audrey_Killen (1 review) |
What To Eat Tonight

If you know what kids like, they're easy to please, even using 'healthy' foods that they normally avoid. It's all in the preparation!

Oh, bacon, bacon, bacon. What can we say? Seen by many as a true gift from the gods, bacon is just so tasty, so versatile and so more-ish.

When the winter chill sets in, there's nothing like a plate of hot comfort to make you feel good about the world outside.

Surf and Turf Butties combine two of my favourite comfort foods - bacon and scallops. The combination is a marriage made in heaven!

In case you've not come across them before, "Queenies" are small scallops about ½" - ¾" (1cm - 2cm) diameter - sometimes called "bay scallops"

Home-made Fish Fingers are not only a whole lot more tasty than the shop-bought variety but they are very easy to make and you can involve the kids.
