Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound paper-thin slices prosciutto
2 pounds medium scallops (about 40)
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
2 lemons, halved, plus wedges for garnish
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat grill to high. (If using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for 2 seconds.)
  • Halve 1 slice prosciutto lengthwise. Fold in half lengthwise, and wrap around sides of 1 scallop, overlapping prosciutto ends. Repeat with remaining prosciutto and scallops. Thread several scallops on each skewer.
  • Drizzle scallops lightly with oil, squeeze lemons over skewers, and season with pepper. Grill scallops, turning once, until just opaque, about 3 minutes per side. Serve with lemon.

GRILLED SCALLOPS WRAPPED IN PROSCIUTTO

Jumbo scallops wrapped in thin strips of Prosciutto are an easy and impressive main course. Wrap and skewer them ahead, then grill to perfection. The creamy mango-citrus sauce is a wonderful compliment. Or serve it with an extra virgin olive oil like the Lucini Tuscan Basil. Serve with quinoa or brown rice, veggies and a salad. This recipe doubles or more easily for a crowd. Don't like Prosciutto or pork? Skip it, just skewer and grill. No grill? broil or sear in a cast iron skillet.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/4 pounds jumbo sea scallops (about)
4 ounces strips of Prosciutto (6 slices)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoons granulated garlic
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 9″ skewers (see notes below)

Steps:

  • Lay scallops out on a flat surface. If it is still attached, pinch off the "foot" (abductor), a tough little piece on one side and discard. Lay out strips of Prosciutto and slice them in half (or thirds) lengthwise. Wrap one strip of Prosciutto around each scallop and overlap the end. Place three wrapped scallops on each skewer.
  • Drizzle a little olive oil over both sides of the scallops and sprinkle with salt, garlic and pepper. Use a little more if needed, but go easy on salt as Prosciutto is salty.
  • Heat grill to hot, clean grates with a stiff brush and oil the grates. Place scallop skewers on the grill and close the lid. Cook about 2 minutes per side, until scallops are pearly white, opaque and a little firm when touched. Don't overcook them to maintain tenderness. Prosciutto will be crisp at the edges. Serve with citrus sauce, a few tablespoons per person or a good extra virgin olive oil.

GRILLED SCALLOPS W. PROSCIUTTO & HONEY MUSTARD DIPPING SAUCE



Grilled Scallops W. Prosciutto & Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce image

I had never thought of trying one of my favorite Appetizer dishes (Bacon wrapped Scallops) with Proscuitto instead, I got the idea and the basic recipe frame from 'Everyday Italian' with Giada DeLorentis (Food Network) - and did some tweaking as well as adding the Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce -- WOW, it far exceeded my expectations PLUS the Proscuitto is much leaner than fatty Bacon -- Buon Appetito!

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons chopped pitted black olives (about 10 olives)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
12 medium scallops
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
12 slices prosciutto

Fold each slice of prosciutto in half lengthwise, then wrap each scallop in 1 slice of prosciutto. Place wrapped scallops in a buttered baking dish, seam side down. Bake until scallop is cooked through, about 15 minutes.

Tips for Grilling Perfect Scallops:

- Choose fresh, high-quality scallops. Look for scallops that are plump and have a slightly briny smell. - Soak the scallops in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking. This helps to remove any grit or sand. - Pat the scallops dry with paper towels before grilling. This helps to prevent them from sticking to the grill. - Season the scallops with salt and pepper, or your favorite seafood seasoning. - Grill the scallops over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. - Serve the scallops immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Grilled scallops are a delicious and versatile seafood dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer or main course. With their delicate flavor and tender texture, scallops are a perfect pairing for a variety of sauces and accompaniments. Whether you choose to grill them simply with salt and pepper or dress them up with a flavorful marinade or dipping sauce, grilled scallops are sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy seafood dish, give grilled scallops a try. You won't be disappointed!
