Prosciutto wrapped scallops with seared asparagus
These prosciutto scallops pack protein into any meal with little effort. Salty prosciutto contrasts the silky scallops perfectly & oven baking is foolproof!
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 15 minutes
- Total Time: 29 minutes
Ingredients
Scale
- 2lbs scallops (see above for prep)
- 6oz-ish of prosciutto (I may be overzealous with the pork-y love; each scallop needs about a half lengthwise-slice)
- 1 bunch of asparagus, ends trimmed
- 1 tbs oil of your choice (I used leftover bacon fat. See item above for pork-problem)
- Seasoning of your choice (I was lazy and used Original Mrs Dash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F. While it’s heating up prepare the scallops as above and line a baking tray with foil.
- Take each scallop and wrap your prosciutto slices around them; the prosciutto should stick without any help as long as it’s not too dry (which it shouldn’t be!)
- Lay the scallops out on your baking tray, baste the top with a little of your oil and season to taste.
- Put those bad boys in the oven for about 15 minutes or until the inside of the scallops are piping hot.
- While the scallops are in the oven, heat up your remaining bacon fat in a large skillet at med / high and pan sear your asparagus for about 5 minutes, or until done to your liking.
