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.

Garlic and Herb Pull Apart Bread
This garlic and herb pull-apart bread recipe is fantastic with spaghetti. My family loves it, and my husband has even tried to eat the whole thing. Keep in mind, though, that we love garlic at our house. If you are not a fan of strong garlic, streamline the amount until you are comfortable with it.
Green Bean Mac and Cheese
This green bean mac and cheese is a mashup of two favorites, green bean casserole and macaroni and cheese. Topped with crunchy French-fried onions, it is everything you could hope for. The green beans add texture, gorgeous color, and just a hint of delicious bitterness to amplify all the other flavors.
Olive Cheese Ball
This olive cheese ball is one our family has had and used for 20 years. We love it. It's simple, and most of the ingredients are kept on hand. Roll it in nuts or parsley, if desired. Serve with an assortment of crackers.
