Gently pat the scallops dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Wrap each scallop with a slice of prosciutto, ensuring the ends overlap slightly. Secure with a toothpick if needed.
Preheat the grill or a grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates or pan lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the wrapped scallops to keep them moist during grilling.
Place the scallops on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the prosciutto is crispy and the scallops are opaque and tender. Avoid overcooking as scallops can become tough.
While the scallops are grilling, prepare the honey mustard dipping sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, and garlic powder until smooth.
Transfer the grilled scallops to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped fresh chives, if desired.
Serve immediately with the honey mustard dipping sauce on the side for dipping.
