Proscuitto Wrapped Scallops
Proscuitto is perfect for wrapping scallops since the scallops cook so quickly. You can choose to use bacon instead of proscuitto, but then you would need to deep fry or fry the wrapped scallops to ensure the scallops and bacon cook evenly through. The proscuitto, however, will be ready in the same time as the scallops when baking, which is a much healthier option for preparation.
