Dinner and a Recipe Post: Prosciutto-Wrapped Scallops!

If there is one thing that pushes my family through the hectic and stressful week, it’s Sunday afternoon dinners.  Somehow we manage to cook copious amounts of food (probably enough to feed a small army), and then proceed to consume ALL of it in a matter of  minutes.  This past Sunday, we were feeling a bit ambitious, which resulted in a delicious dinner comprised of a cheese, avocado and soppressata appetizer,  and prosciutto-wrapped scallops. P1070978As always, check to make sure that your cheese and sausage products are 100% gluten-free.  We always use Boar’s Head deli meats and cheeses, as they are not only good quality, but are labeled gluten-free as well.

Since the scallop recipe is very simple to make, I wanted to share the recipe.  It’s perfect for a dinner party, romantic dinner for two, or a classy dinner with the family!  Enjoy!

Prosciutto-Wrapped Scallops

Serves 4

Ingredients:

1.25 pounds large scallops

.5 pound Boar’s Head Prosciutto, sliced thin

Pepper and garlic powder, to taste

Directions:

1. Sprinkle scallops with pepper and garlic powder (I recommend forgoing the salt, as the prosciutto is quite salty and provides this flavor).

2. Wrap each scallop in a thin layer of prosciutto, and place on a baking sheet.

3. Bake for about 30 minutes at 350 degrees

4. In a frying pan, sear the cooked scallops for approximately two minutes!

Expert tip: Definitely don’t skip the searing step of the recipe- it adds so much more flavor and texture to the scallops, and really completes the dish.

5. Enjoy!
