Chef Chuck's Scallops and Prosciutto

Cappesante e Prosciutto


Fresh scallops wrapped with prosciutto seared to perfection. A touch of the sea, fresh vegetables plus a complemented glass of wine.


Scallops and Prosciutto
12 medium fresh scallops
6 thin slices prosciutto
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper to taste


Wash and pat dry scallops, wrap each one with half a slice of prosciutto and secure with a toothpick. Salt and pepper both sides. In a small heavy frying pan on high heat add oil and sear scallops, about 2 minutes on each side.

  7. My dad's favorite dish is scallops wrapped in bacon. I've used pancetta before but never prosciutto. I like to marinate the scallops in a paste of sundried tomatoes and olives or in sofritto.

  10. Hi Valerie, I never looked at it that way but your right, elegant, grazie. I think you would also enjoy these scallops the prosciutto brings out more salt flavor. Like the sea!! I also wrap shrimp like your mom. I stuff them with goat cheese and wrap them, bread and fry. You can search my blog in the top left corner,"Mediterranean Stuffed Shrimp" Thank You,
    Take care :)
