Prosciutto Wrapped Scallops

INGREDIENTS

  • 6-10 ea. Scallops
  • 2 ea. Sheets of prosciutto
  • Transglutaminase for dusting

METHOD

  1. Align the prosciutto sheets side by side with one lightly overlapping the other. Dust with transglutaminase.
  2. Place cleaned, dry scallops on their side in a single file line and wrap the scallops into a cylinder. Best to do on top of cater wrap using the ends as handles rolling and tightening. Set aside and refrigerate.

  3. Bring to boil then remove from heat. Season to taste.
