Hi Katherine! Thank you so much for the like and comment. This recipe is so easy to prepare. Let me know how your shrimp and scallop meal turns out.
You will need the following for each serving
3 Shrimp
2 large Scallops
2 slices Prosciutto
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Clean and devein the shrimp. Take the prosciutto and divide the slices in long halfs so you can wrap them around the shrimp and scallops. In a nonstick skillet melt the butter and place the scallops first in the butter since they will take longer to cook than the shrimp. Cook over medium/low heat for about 3 minutes. You will have to turn it over and cook the other side . At this point add the shrimp in the butter sauce. Cook for about 2 minutes and turn over.
You will know they are done when the shrimp turn pink and the scallops no longer have the raw look to them (when they turn white inside and are browned on the outside.
