Scallop and Prosciutto Bites image

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.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound large scallops
4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
toothpicks
2 tablespoons olive oil
ΒΌ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Wrap each scallop with a thin slice of prosciutto and secure with a toothpick.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the scallops into the pan, and cook for about 2 minutes on each side. Season each side with pepper as it is cooking. Once each side has been fried, sprinkle the white wine over the scallops, and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Remove the scallops from the pan to drain on paper towels. When slightly cooled, transfer to a serving tray, and remove the toothpicks to serve.

These bites were a bit too greasy for my liking. I would recommend using less butter or oil when cooking them.

The sauce was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt or adding a bit of sugar to balance it out.

I followed the recipe exactly and the scallops were a bit overcooked. I would recommend cooking them for a shorter amount of time.
