Chef K’s Prosciutto Wrapped Scallops with Caper Sauce
12 large Sea Scallops
1 fresh Lemon
Rinse scallops and pat dry with paper towels. Wrap Prosciutto strips around the edges of each scallop. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter. Sear the Prosciutto wrapped scallops on one side for 1 to 2 minutes without disturbing to ensure a good crust. Flip the scallops and cook on the other side for 3 to 4 minutes, or until opaque with a nice golden color on top. Transfer the cooked scallops to a platter. Deglaze the skillet with the white wine, whisking vigorously to emulsify; add the garlic, capers, caper juice and tomatoes. Sauté for 1 to 2 minutes stirring frequently. Whisk in chicken broth and heavy cream. Reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat. Whisk in remaining 5 tbsp butter 1 Tablespoon at a time until melted. Spoon some of the Caper Sauce over the scallops; add a squeeze of lemon juice and serve immediately.
