Broiled Scallop Prosciutto Bacon Bundles

Amy Lawrence
These little broiled scallop bacon bundle appetizers are quick to put together, delicious and make a great impression on your guests. They are a simple, yet elegant appetizer. These scallops are also great as a main course. I like to eat a few of them along with vegetables and a salad - a nice light, great tasting and healthy dinner.

Ingredients
  

  • 6 slices of prosciutto try to find super thin slices (about .5 oz each)
  • 6 large sea scallops if frozen, thaw overnight in refrigerator, rinse and pat dry
  • 1/2 T. butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2-1 jalapeno finely chopped (optional)
  • 1 T. homemade chipotle seasoning or use store bought seasoning
  • 2 T. crumbled bacon
  • olive oil spray
  • green onions trimmed and cut into long strips
  • cilantro garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a small saucepan, bring enough water (to cover green onions) to boil.
  • Add green onion tops to boiling water and boil for about 1 minute.
  • Drain and place onions in ice water. Drain again and pat dry.
  • In a small bowl or custard cup, combine melted butter and garlic.
  • Place a slice of prosciutto down on a cutting board. Place a scallop on top. 
  • Brush with the melted garlic butter. Sprinkle homemade chipotle seasoning on top.
  • Bring up ends of prosciutto together. Twist prosciutto at the top, try to tuck everything in and tie top with a piece of green onion.
  • Broil for 6-8 minutes until scallop temperature reaches 115°. Final temperature ends up being around 125°. Top with cilantro for garnish.
  • To bake these instead, preheat oven to 350°. Bake for about 15 minutes until temperature reaches about 115°. Serve immediately.
