These prosciutto-wrapped scallops are a different version of bacon-wrapped scallops, a common appetizer. 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 are significantly less than bacon for health-conscious people. I serve this as an appetizer and people love it. Increase the portion size to serve it as a main course.
Ingredients
- 1 pound large scallops
- 4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
- toothpicks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons white wine
Instructions

Wrap each scallop with a thin slice of prosciutto and secure with a toothpick.

Drain scallops on paper towels. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a serving tray, remove the toothpicks, and serve.

Strawberry Balsamic Pork Chops
These strawberry balsamic pork chops in a sweetly tart glaze are a one-skillet dish that takes full advantage of how well fruit and pork go together, and the delicious combination of strawberries and balsamic vinegar. You can adjust the sweetness by using as much or as little honey as you like. Serve with a crusty, buttery bread and a simple tossed salad.
Pumpkin Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies
I was in the mood for something sweet with pumpkin and butterscotch and I came up with these cookies. My husband and kids love them! These cookies are extra moist and following the recipe should give it a more cakey than crisp texture. If you are looking for a crispy oatmeal cookie, this is not it!
