Scallops and corn

One of my favorite flavors of late summer and early fall is sweet corn. Growing up every August and September my dad would pick some up at the farmstand near our house and we would grill out and eat corn on the cob savoring the summer and hoping it would never end.
I couldn't resist the heaping piles of sweet corn Nichols was selling at the Green City Market and also couldn't resist pairing it with scallops, bacon, and chilies.
