Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

10 to 20 thin slices of prosciutto
20 large basil leaves
1 1/2 pounds large sea scallops (about 20)

Steps:

  • Soak 10 small wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes.
  • Cut prosciutto slices in half crosswise if they are large.
  • Put a slice of prosciutto on a flat surface. Place a large basil leaf at one end of slice and place a large sea scallop on the leaf. Wrap the prosciutto around the scallop and basil, tucking in the sides, and thread two packets onto each skewer.
  • Grill on an open grill over medium hot coals until ham begins to brown and sizzle, two to five minutes for each side.

I'm allergic to prosciutto, so I used pancetta instead. It was still very good.

The scallops were a bit bland. I think I'll add some extra seasoning next time.

I'm not a big fan of basil, so I used parsley instead. It was still delicious.

I substituted shrimp for the scallops and it turned out great. The shrimp cooked in no time.
