Prosciutto-Wrapped Scallop Bites

Prosciutto-Wrapped Scallop Bites balance sweet, buttery scallops with thin, salty ribbons of cured ham for a rich, briny bite. A quick sear and a splash of white wine keep them tender and aromatic. Serve these elegant skewered appetizers for cocktail hours, holiday gatherings, or a special dinner starter.

Prosciutto-Wrapped Scallop Bites
  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallops and cook for about 2 minutes per side, seasoning each side with pepper as they cook. Drizzle wine over the scallops and cook until they are opaque all the way through, 1 to 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Drain the scallops on paper towels. Let them cool slightly, then move them to a serving tray, remove the toothpicks, and serve.
