This is a creamy sausage dip! You can eat it with tortilla chips or even pieces of crusty bread!

In a large bowl stir together sugar and sherry.  Add scallops to the bowl and marinate for 30 minutes or longer.  Remove scallops from marinade and sprinkle with salt.  Center a scallop or scallop piece and a slice of scallion on a piece of bacon.  Wrap and secure with a toothpick.  Arrange wraps on a broiling pan.  Place the broiling pan under the broiler for 10 minutes turing once or until the bacon is golden and cooked.
