Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 large Scallops
- 6 slices Prosciutto
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Fresh ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh parsley
- 12 pieces Toothpicks
Instructions
Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Cut each slice of prosciutto in half lengthwise to create 12 long strips.
Wrap each scallop with a strip of prosciutto, securing it in place with a toothpick.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, fresh ground black pepper, lemon juice, and garlic powder.
Brush the olive oil mixture generously over the prosciutto-wrapped scallops.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a stovetop grill pan, heat it over medium-high heat and lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.
Place the scallops on the grill, ensuring they are spaced evenly apart.
Cook the scallops for 2-3 minutes per side, turning carefully, until the prosciutto is crisp and the scallops are opaque and cooked through.
Remove the scallops from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish and serve immediately for best results.
