With a little kick from cayenne, these scrumptious kabobs will be the hit of your next barbecue. The crunchy bacon wraps create moist, tender shrimp and scallops. —Audrey Hagerty Saylorsburg, Pennsylvania.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 12 uncooked jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 6 large sea scallops, halved widthwise
  • 12 bacon strips, halved
  • 1 medium lemon, cut into wedges
