Instructies
- Turn your gas barbecue on to high and allow to heat up whilst you are preparing the scallops for cooking.
- If you are using a charcoal barbecue you will know when it is hot enough when you can only hold your hand over it about 5 inches above the grill for 2 seconds.
- Take one slice of the prosciutto and cut in half lengthwise then fold in half and wrap it around the sides of a scallop.
- You need to make sure that the ends of the prosciutto overlap and then thread it on to a skewer.
- Do the same for the other pieces of prosciutto and the scallops.
- Next take the olive oil and drizzle it lightly over the scallops and then squeeze some lemon juice over them.
- Then season with the freshly ground black pepper.
- Then place on the barbecue to cook.
- Cook on each side for about 3 minutes or until you see the flesh of the scallops has turned opaque.
- Remove from barbecue place on a clean plate with some lemon wedges and serve to your guests.
