Ingredients

1 pound large scallops
4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
toothpicks
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons white wine

Directions

1 Wrap each scallop with a thin slice of prosciutto and secure with a toothpick.
2 Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallops and cook for about 2 minutes per side, seasoning each side with pepper as they cook. Drizzle wine over scallops and cook until opaque all the way through, 1 to 2 minutes.
