Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat the barbecue for direct grilling to 450 to 475 F (230 to 240 C).
2. Line a tray with paper towels, and place the scallops on the tray and pat them dry. Sprinkle the scallops with garlic and pepper.
3. Slice the prosciutto in half lengthwise. Wrap the scallop with prosciutto around the edge so it looks like a drum, leaving the top and bottom exposed.
4. Skewer the wrapped scallops through the sides and alternate scallops with lemon wedges (three scallops per skewer and two lemon wedges).
5. Drizzle evenly with olive oil.
6. Place scallops on the barbecue. Slide the tin foil under the exposed skewer handles to prevent the wood from burning.
7. Cook the scallops for two minutes per side or until the bacon is crisp and lemons are charred.
