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.
SCALLOP AND PROSCIUTTO BITES
A different version of the commonly seen appetizer of scallops wrapped in bacon. Using prosciutto allows for the subtle flavors of this meat to come through without overpowering the wonderful flavor of the scallops. Additionally, the fat content and grease is significantly less than bacon for those that are health conscious. I serve this for guests as an appetizer and people love it. It can be made into a main course dish by increase the portion for each person.

PROSCIUTTO BITES
The kids and I went on a sampling spree one time in Sam's Club. One gentleman was offering up these little bites of heaven. All three kids got up the nerve to try them. And all three kids wanted to go back for seconds! First time we had ever had prosciutto and we loved it. The gentleman was so impressed that all three of my kids enjoyed it, that he gave me the recipe so that I could make my own! Whether it is a fancy holiday party or a Superbowl party, these would go great!

Steps:
- You want all the ingredients (other than the prosciutto and black pepper) to be around the same size.
- I buy the slices of havarti from the deli and cut them into four long slices. Then cut those strips in half widthwise. I then put two pieces into a roll.
- Cut the pear into quarters and core it. Then cut each quarter in four long thin slices. I end up with a few slices leftover but I consider those treats for the cook!
- At one end of a slice of prosciutto, place a cheese slice, a pear wedge and a pepper stick.
- Sprinkle with pepper.
- Roll up slices and secure with toothpick if necessary. I find that the meay sticks to itself usually well enough to not need toothpicks.
- After they are rolled up, you can cutthem in half if you would like a smaller bite.
- Refrigerate prior to serving and keep cool during serving.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful scallops and prosciutto will make a big difference in the taste of your dish.
- Don't overcook the scallops. They should be cooked through but still tender and juicy. Overcooked scallops will be tough and chewy.
- Serve the bites immediately. They are best when they are hot and fresh out of the oven.
- Garnish with fresh herbs or lemon wedges. This will add a pop of color and flavor to your dish.
- Experiment with different fillings. You can use a variety of other fillings for your bites, such as goat cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, or pesto.
Conclusion:
Scallop and prosciutto bites are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are sure to be a hit with your guests!
