PAN-SEARED SCALLOPS OVER LOBSTER-PROSCIUTTO RISOTTO
Steps:
- For the risotto: Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until just beginning to smoke. Add the onions, garlic and shallots; saute, stirring frequently, until the onions are translucent. Add the rice and stir to coat with the oil. Add the white wine, stirring to make sure the rice grains are moving freely and not clumped together. Reduce the heat to medium.
- In a separate saucepan, whisk together the lobster stock, tomato paste and sherry. Add to the lobster stock mixture to the rice, 1/2 cup at a time. Cook, stirring continuously, until all the stock has been added and the rice is al dente. Set the risotto aside and keep warm.
- Split the lobster tail in half, coat the meat with butter, and lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until almost fully cooked. Remove the meat from the shell, cut into bite-size cubes, and add to the risotto to finish cooking. Set the risotto aside.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Deep-fry the julienned prosciutto until crispy, 1 minute. Drain on paper towels. Add 3/4 cup of the fried prosciutto to the risotto; reserve the remainder for garnish.
- For the scallops: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Heat a large saute pan over high heat. While the pan is heating, pat the scallops dry with a heavy, lint-free paper towel and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the olive oil to the pan; heat until extremely hot and smoking. Add the scallops and cook until beginning to turn golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip the scallops, then transfer to the oven for about 4 minutes, or until cooked through.
- To finish: Return the risotto to medium heat. Add the Parmesan and stir to combine.
- For each serving, top one scoop of risotto with 5 sea scallops. Drizzle with citrus butter sauce and scallion oil, and garnish with the reserved crispy prosciutto and some cilantro leaves.
- Combine the lemon juice, lime juice, orange juice and white wine in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until reduced by three-quarters. Remove from the heat add the butter, stirring continuously until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
- Combine the olive oil, green onions, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a blender or food process. Blend on high speed until smooth.

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.
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.
CREAMY GARLIC BUTTER SCALLOPS WITH PROSCIUTTO
Steps:
- Season the scallops with salt and pepper.
- In a medium size skillet heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the scallops to the skillet in a single layer and sear them on each side for about 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until it gets slightly golden. Remove the scallops from the skillet to a plate and set aside.
- In the same skillet add the chopped prosciutto and fry for about 3 to 5 minutes until nice and crispy. Add the butter and the garlic to the skillet and cook until the butter melts and the garlic becomes aromatic.
- Stir in the heavy cream, white wine and season with salt and pepper if necessary. The prosciutto could be a bit salty so there may not be a need for additional salt. Cook for about 2 minutes then add the scallops back to the skillet.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and chopped green onion and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Cut the orange corals from the scallops and finely chop them. Halve the white scallops to make 2 fat pieces and roll them up in the strips of prosciutto.
- Cook the pasta in salted water following pack instructions - it should only take about 4 mins. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large, deep sauté pan and sear the scallops for 1-2 mins, to brown the prosciutto and lightly cook the scallop inside. Lift from the pan onto a warm plate and leave to rest.
- Add the garlic to the pan juices and fry, stirring, until golden. Tip in the chopped corals and thyme, and stir-fry for a few mins more. Add the lemon zest, juice and vermouth, let it bubble down to at least half, then toss in the parsley. Drain the pasta and add to the pan with salt and plenty of black pepper, then toss to make sure the strands are well coated. Add the prosciutto-wrapped scallops and serve drizzled with a little extra oil, if you like.

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.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use high-quality scallops. Look for scallops that are plump and have a slightly sweet smell.
- If you can't find shiitake mushrooms, you can substitute another type of mushroom, such as cremini or oyster mushrooms.
- Use a good quality prosciutto. The flavor of the prosciutto will really shine through in this dish.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet when you are cooking the scallops. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Be careful not to overcook the scallops. They should be cooked through, but still slightly tender.
- Serve the scallops immediately after they are cooked. They are best enjoyed when they are hot and crispy.
