Memphis,
Those look really great! I like the idea of wrapping them in proscuitto!!!! I have been thinking about doing bacon wrapped scallops, but I was a little scared that I would be controlling the cook to get the bacon right and ignoring the scallop. This way you get flavor of the wonderful proscuitto and need not worry about cooking it.[p]I have never used the rosemary skewers. No doubt it looks great, but does it really impart a taste you can detect?

Memphis

BobS, Truthfully - I thought the rosemary flavor would have been a little stronger. It left just a very subtle taste. Maybe next time a little minced rosemary on top might be a little better. I did brush these with olive oil and sprinkled some lemon juice and pepper on them.
Most eggsellent !!!

Memphis,
Those look great! What was the time and temp. for the cook?

Memphis

egret, Very simple - Hot and fast. Didnot take the temp but hot enough to get a good sear - not burnt but seared. About 2 -3 minutes per side. I like mine med rarish.

Cecil

Memphis,
Looks great! Did you marinate the scallops?
Thanks!

Memphis

cecil, Not really - Just brushed them with some olive oil then a little pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice about 10-15 m inutes before grilling. And then a squirt of lemon juice after grilling. Tried to keep the flavors very simple because scallops are so delicate yet so damn tasty !!!
