Scallop and Prosciutto Bites recipe

8 servings

1 pound large scallops

4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto

toothpicks

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

3 tablespoons white wine

Wrap each scallop with a thin slice of prosciutto and secure with a toothpick.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Place the scallops into the pan, and cook for about 2 minutes on each side.

Season each side with pepper as it is cooking.

Once each side has been fried, sprinkle the white wine over the scallops, and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes.

Remove the scallops from the pan to drain on paper towels.

When slightly cooled, transfer to a serving tray, and remove the toothpicks to serve.
