Preheat broiler to high and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil; brush with olive oil.

Pat scallops dry; season with pepper and smoked paprika.

Wrap each scallop with a half slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick.

Arrange on the sheet, seam-side down, and broil 4–6 minutes per side until bacon is crisp and scallops are opaque.

Let rest 2 minutes before serving to avoid splatter and to let juices redistribute.
