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!

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon lemon juice, Freshly squeezed
1/2 tablespoon lemon zest, Freshly grated
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 tablespoon fresh oregano or 1/2 tablespoon fresh basil
12 large scallops, cleaned and dried
12 slices prosciutto
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup Dijon mustard or 1/4 cup yellow mustard
1/4 cup honey (dark in color is healthier and has a better, richer flavor)
1 dash hot sauce

Steps:

  • Place the lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, parsley or Oregano/Basil, and black pepper in a bowl and mix well.
  • Add the scallops and turn to coat thoroughly.
  • Wrap each scallop with a thin slice of Proscuitto and secure with a toothpick.
  • Place on a preheated grill and cook for 3 minutes (get those pretty grill marks on the scallops), basting with the olive oil mixture.
  • Turn, baste with more of the olive oil mixture and continue to cook for a further 2-3 minutes & Serve immediately.
  • Make Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce: Mix all ingredients well and divide into individual servings in ramekins for each person ~ dip scallops in the sauce ~ Wow, is it great!
