Description
I had never thought of trying one of my favorite appetizer dishes (bacon wrapped scallops) with proscuitto instead, i got the idea and the basic recipe frame from 'everyday italian' with giada delorentis (food network) – and did some tweaking as well as adding the honey mustard dipping sauce — wow, it far exceeded my expectations plus the proscuitto is much leaner than fatty bacon — buon appetito!
