Ingredients:
- 1 pound(s) scallops, wild jumbo
- 1 package(s) ham, prosciutto, sliced (4 oz.)
- 3 medium garlic clove(s), minced
- 1 medium shallot(s), finely diced
- 1 tablespoon(s) coconut oil, or lard or olive oil
- 1 teaspoon(s) sea salt, to taste
- 1 teaspoon(s) black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
Method:
- Line a baking sheet with foil, and turn oven to the “broil” setting.
- In a medium-sized frying pan, heat oil over medium heat, and saute garlic and shallots until lightly browned. Remove from frying pan, and set aside.
- Pat scallops dry. Lightly dust salt and pepper on both sides of scallops, to taste.
- Turn up the heat in the same frying pan to high in preparation to sear the scallops. You may need to add a little more oil for this task, but not too much or the scallops will not sear properly. When the pan is hot, quickly sear the flat sides of each scallop, approximately 30 seconds per side. Remove from heat.
- Wrap each of the scallops with prosciutto and top with garlic/shallot mixture.
- Place scallops on baking sheet and broil until just cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from oven, and enjoy immediately!
