A quick, easy, healthy, delicious dinner.
Ingredients:
--1 lb fresh scallops
--8-10 slices of prosciutto
--Olive oil
--Salt/pepper
1. Preheat the grill with a medium-hot fire. Spread the coals out to distribute heat evenly. (If you're on a gas grill, you obviously don't have to do that, but I love the flavor that charcoal imparts.)
2. Sprinkle both sides of the scallops with a pinch of salt and pepper.
3. Take the prosciutto and halve the strip lengthwise with a very sharp knife, leaving you with strips about 1.5" wide and 6-8" long. (I lay out a whole slice on the cutting board, then roll the knive over it to cut it lengthwise; if you move the knife, it sticks and will bunch up the prosciutto.)
4. Wrap the scallop with the proscuitto (as seen in picture).
5. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil onto each scallop, both sides.
6. Place the scallops on the grill; cook on one side for 2 minutes or so, then flip them over. The scallops will be done by the time the proscuitto cooks and shrinks around the scallop.
I served this with a zucchini salad, recipe here:

This makes enough scallops for 2-3 people.
