- 5. In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and soy sauce. Brush each scallop generously with the maple glaze.

Cooking Notes
- Ensure the scallops are dry before wrapping with bacon to ensure crispiness.
- You can broil the scallops for a few minutes at the end to caramelize the glaze.
Beer, Wine, Cocktail Pairings
- Beer Pairing: A light, crisp lager or a Belgian-style wheat beer would complement the richness of the bacon and scallops.
- Wine Pairing: Pair with a dry, unoaked Chardonnay or a sparkling Prosecco to cut through the smokiness of the bacon.
- Cocktail Pairing: A classic martini or a mojito would be refreshing and complementary to the rich flavors of the dish.
