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.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallops and cook for about 2 minutes per side, seasoning each side with pepper as they cook. Drizzle wine over scallops and cook until opaque all the way through, 1 to 2 minutes.

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

Southern Stir-Fry
Who says stir-fry has to be Asian? Enjoy this zesty blend of rice, corn, black-eyed peas, and spinach.
Country-Style Steak
This baked country-style steak is the recipe that my momma passed down to me. Born and raised in the South, my momma was raised on a farm, so my family knows a lot about southern cookin'. With this recipe, don't be shy to add other spices to it. This goes perfectly with mashed potatoes, green beans, and sweet tea. You can use the gravy from the steak for the mashed potatoes.
Air Fryer Chicken Quesadillas
These air fryer chicken quesadillas are so easy to make—using cooked, shredded chicken, and melty cheese in a folded tortilla, and air frying, they're even easier than quesadillas usually are. This recipe was developed for a 5.3-quart, basket-style air fryer, so if yours is different, expect different cook times. Top with guacamole, sour cream, pico de gallo, cilantro sprigs, or any combination you like.
