GRILLED PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED SCALLOPS



Grilled Prosciutto Wrapped Scallops image

This is such an easy and impressive meal. The prosciutto gets a nice crunch to it, but also melts in your mouth. I like to serve over a bed of wilted spinach. Splurge for the better quality Prosciutto di Parma. Don't forget to soak your wooden skewers in water for about a half an hour so they do not burn on the grill! Enjoy!

Very good appetizer! I had a couple at a dinner party, then I went back for another one and they were gone. After that, I had to get the recipe.

GRILLED SCALLOPS W. PROSCIUTTO & HONEY MUSTARD DIPPING SAUCE



Grilled Scallops W. Prosciutto & Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce image

I had never thought of trying one of my favorite Appetizer dishes (Bacon wrapped Scallops) with Proscuitto instead, I got the idea and the basic recipe frame from 'Everyday Italian' with Giada DeLorentis (Food Network) - and did some tweaking as well as adding the Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce -- WOW, it far exceeded my expectations PLUS the Proscuitto is much leaner than fatty Bacon -- Buon Appetito!

12 large scallops, cleaned and dried

  • Add the scallops and turn to coat thoroughly.
