How To Make scallops with prosciutto

  • Step 1
    Combine the vinegar and brown sugar in a small, non-reactive saucepan and bring to a boil over moderate heat.
  • Step 2
    Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the mixture has reduced to about 1/4 cup (60 ml) - it should coat the bottom of the pan when you tilt it.
  • Step 3
    Allow to cool to room temperature. Meanwhile, cut each piece of prosciutto in half lengthwise and wrap around the scallops, securing each with a toothpick.
  • Step 4
    Brush or spray with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Step 5
    Grill over hot coals or under a preheated broiler just until the scallops are firm and opaque in the center, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to serving plates and drizzle with the balsamic glaze.
