It's been too long between postings!

So here is a yummy recipe to hold you over.

Grilled Prosciutto Wrapped Scallops - Serves 8
2-3 pounds medium sized scallops (about 32, I got a big bag at Costco for $20!)
16 thinly sliced pieces of prosciutto (I buy them at Costco too)
Salt and pepper
16 Bamboo Skewers (12" or so, more if you have smaller)
Olive Oil

Soak bamboo skewers in water for about an hour. They will still burn, but not as badly.

Thaw scallops if frozen, drain water. Season with salt and pepper.

Cut each piece of prosciutto in half and wrap around a scallop, overlapping at the end. Put 2 skewers through each scallop (this really helps when you try to turn them over). Repeat until all scallops are wrapped. Drizzle olive oil over skewered scallops.

Heat grill to medium high (400 degrees or so) or heat a grill pan on the stove over high heat. Reduce heat to medium.

Oil or spray grill or grill pan. Place skewers on grill. Cook about 4 minutes on each side until scallops are done. Serve over risotto or some other yummy creamy grain.

Enjoy.
