Prosciutto and Scallop Skewers

The grandson would eat prosciutto by the pound.  For his birthday we tried to feature as much as we could.  Problem:  Scallops are either “sea” – large or “bay” tiny.  Neither would work for a cocktail snack.  Went with shrimp which worked just as well!  (If you use cooked shrimp just flash them in the oil to crisp the prosciutto.)

Ingredients:

  • 8 scallops
  • 4 slices prosciutto – (halved and folded like concertinas)
  • 2 Tab olive oil
  • 1/2 lemon (juiced)

Directions:   

  1. Thread 2 scallops and 2 – 1/2 slices prosciutto alternately onto 4 wooden skewers.
  2. Heat oil in a frying pan until smoking hot.
  3. Cook skewers for 2 mins on each side.
  4. Drizzle with lemon juice and season.

Serves 4
