Ingredients:

1 tsp

Paprika

1 pinch

Cayenne

12 large

Sea Scallops

1 tbsp

Canola Oil

4 tbsps

Unsalted Butter

Directions:

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F

2

For the dry rub: Mix together the garlic, paprika, salt, pepper and cayenne in a small bowl

3

For the scallops: Trim the side muscle from the scallops, if not done already

4

Pat the scallops dry and sprinkle them on both sides with the dry rub

5

Wrap the scallops with the prosciutto so that only the top is showing

6

To do this, spread out a slice of prosciutto; set a scallop on its edge and roll it up in the prosciutto, tucking prosciutto under one side as you go and leaving the other side exposed

7

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat

8

Add the canola oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter and sear the scallops on the prosciutto side for 1 to 2 minutes without disturbing, to ensure a good crust

9

Flip the scallops and cook on the scallop side for 3 to 4 minutes, or until opaque

10

Add the remaining 3 tablespoons butter to the pan and baste the scallops with the melted butter

11

Transfer the cooked scallops to a platter

12

Deglaze the pan with the white wine, whisking vigorously to emulsify; stir in the chives and parsley, and season with salt and pepper

13

Spoon some of the pan sauce over the scallops; serve any extra sauce on the side

14

Add a squeeze of lemon juice and serve
