For best results, use high-quality, dry-packed sea scallops. Pat the scallops very dry before wrapping them with prosciutto to ensure a good sear. Do not overcrowd the pan, as this will steam the scallops instead of searing them. Work in batches if necessary. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture. A squeeze of lemon juice can brighten the flavors. These can be served hot or at room temperature.

01
Step

Prepare the scallops: Gently wrap each scallop with a slice of prosciutto, ensuring it's snug but not overly tight. Secure with a toothpick. (5 minutes)
02
Step
2 mins
Sear the scallops: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully place the wrapped scallops in the skillet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. (2 minutes)
03
Step
4 mins
Cook and season: Sear the scallops for about 2 minutes on each side, until the prosciutto is golden brown and the scallops are just cooked through. Season each side with freshly ground black pepper as they cook. (4 minutes)
04
Step
2 mins
Deglaze and finish: Drizzle the white wine over the scallops, allowing it to deglaze the pan and create a light sauce. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the scallops are opaque and the wine has slightly reduced. (2 minutes)

Serve: Transfer the scallops to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Let cool slightly before transferring to a serving platter. Remove the toothpicks before serving. (5 minutes)
