Max, procuitto recipe.

Car Wash Mike

<p />Max,[p]Watched License to Grill today but got side tracked. They had procuitto wrapped fish. The fish was cleaned, but skin was left on and head still on. Maybe trout?[p]Is there anything you can't use procuitto with? I'm holding you responsible for the grocery budget going over every month now. LOL[p]Can't wait to get the real sweet stuff this summer.[p]Mike

Car Wash Mike,
you know, stumpbaby did some righteous prociutto wrapped scallops at eggfest last year. . .not sure if he used any rub on em or not (he may have just squeezed em under his armpits for a minute to add flavor, but i don't know for sure). ..regardless, they were delicious. ..maybe he'll see this and give up the full recipe. .. [p]did you try the mild abt's yet (where i stuff bell pepper sections with a mix of cream cheese/crabmeat. . .a little dusting of dizzy raging river, and then wrap em in prociutto. ...[p]

mad max beyond eggdome,
I think I lost my appetite. Never tried the mild ABTs. I've been cooking RR/cream cheese/crab stuffed button mushrooms lately.[p]I love scallops so I would love to get this recipe, thanks Stump.[p]Mike

mad max beyond eggdome,[p]That's how molly makes half of them because I am such a wussy when it comes to spicy hot.

mad max beyond eggdome,
You're just to funny. Man, I have my appetite back thinking about scallops wrapped in procuitto, then drizzed with butter/Raging River mixture. I've never used the procuttio but that is how I cook my scallops.[p]Mike

mad max beyond eggdome,[p]Nuttin to it. I used the big sea scallops..but you gotta remember to take off that tuff little nub they got...you'll see it there..right along the side..sorta a different color white then the rest of the little bugger..rib it off like a big toe scab or somethin..have fun with it. Now..when I'm buyin the prushootO..I make sure they don't slice it too thin..sometimes it's so thin I can see through it..who the heck wants seethrough meat..not me..and certainly not the rest of the stumps kin..it ain't like we'll be usin it for windows or somethin..good god..anyway..you wanna take that there big scallop..and wrap it in the prushootO just around the outside edge maybe twice if it reaches...I figgya it's your meat so you can prolly do what you want with it..but if it was me I'd wrap it twice if it reaches..(if you do got short meat just keep it to youself..tell nobody the..most likely them folks what already know prolly already luv your little short meatedness self anyway)..then poke it with a toothpick clear on through. Now you got a scallop showin on top and on the bottom..but meat all around the sides.[p]What I did at Waldorf was sprayed the grill with oil..these little buggers will stick to the grill like a pondleach if you don't. I did them direct..for just a short period of time..probably something like 5-6 minutes. Depends on how big the scallop is..I don't wanna brag..but I've had a few huge ones in my day..that I wasn't done with till prolly 7-8 minutes. You can test one first..then put the rest on and cook them the same. In only put them on the scallop side and flipped them bout halfway through..that is you don't need to try and cook them on their side that has the prushootO on it..it'll cook enough as is. My fire wasn't burnin real hot for these either..I mean I love scallops an all..but theres a time and a place..know what I mean?[p]I cooked some plain like that...some with rub..raging river is good...gilded splinters is good..wicken grin is my favorite for these..they'll even take the heat of swamp venom..or something like that. At Waldorf, I did plain, and RR and GS. At Christmas I did a big ol batch of these plain..and served them with bone suckin sauce for dippin... man alive..they were gone in a flash..I swear some folks was on the edge there..and I know at least one guest spent far too long in the little boys room rite after that..my suspician grew when I went in there rite after him and nuttin smelled at all. Guess these scallops is jus self lovin good is all..[p]Have fun with it..but maybe no too much fune...[p]StumpBaby

"sometimes it's so thin I can see through it"[p]When it's $26/lb I like to be able to read a newspaper through it! I have found some Boar's Head at a market that's only around $16/lb but haven't tried it yet. However, if it's like any of the other Boar's Head products I've tried I don't think I'll be disappointed.

Car Wash Mike,
well, i guess if you read the stump's story cafefully you can find the recipe buried in there somewhere. ..old stump does know how to serve up a good prociutto wrapped scallop though. ...go for it!!!
