Cappesante e ProsciuttoFresh 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.

ReplyDeleteMy 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.
ReplyDeleteHello Tricia, Yum, that sounds like a very flavorful with olives!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing :)
My mom used to make shrimp wrapped in prosciutto, but scallops look so much more elegant! Yum!
ReplyDeleteHi 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,
ReplyDeleteTake care :)
