GRILLED SCALLOPS WRAPPED IN PROSCIUTTO

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 LEMON PROSCIUTTO SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Preheat barbeque for direct grilling to 450-475°F (230-240°C).
• Remove the mussel attached to the scallop if it's not already done by your fish monger.
• Line a tray with paper towel, place scallops on the tray and pat dry. By removing any excess moisture the scallops will sear and crisp up on the outside instead of steam on the grill.
• Sprinkle scallops with garlic and pepper.
• Slice the prosciutto in half lengthwise. Wrap the scallop with prosciutto around the edge, (so it looks like a drum) leaving the top and bottom exposed.
• Skewer wrapped scallops through the sides and alternate scallops through the lemon wedges (3 scallops per skewer and 2 lemon wedges).
• Drizzle evenly with olive oil.
• Place scallops on the grill. Slide tin foil under exposed skewers handles to prevent the wood from burning.
• Cook scallops for 2 minutes per side. Or until bacon is crisp and lemons are charred.
• Remove scallops from the grill. To serve, drizzle with the charred lemons for flavor.

PAN-FRIED PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED SCALLOPS WITH WHITE WINE PAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the dry rub: Mix together the garlic, paprika, salt, pepper and cayenne in a small bowl.
• For the scallops: Trim the side muscle from the scallops, if not done already. Pat the scallops dry and sprinkle them on both sides with the dry rub. Wrap the scallops with the prosciutto so that only the top is showing. To do this, spread out a slice of prosciutto; set a scallop on its edge and roll it up in the prosciutto, tucking prosciutto under one side as you go and leaving the other side exposed.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the canola oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter and sear the scallops on the prosciutto side for 1 to 2 minutes without disturbing, to ensure a good crust. Flip the scallops and cook on the scallop side for 3 to 4 minutes, or until opaque. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons butter to the pan and baste the scallops with the melted butter. Transfer the cooked scallops to a platter. Deglaze the pan with the white wine, whisking vigorously to emulsify; stir in the chives and parsley, and season with salt and pepper. Spoon some of the pan sauce over the scallops; serve any extra sauce on the side. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and serve.
