Prosciutto Scallops with Aceto Balsamico di Modena (4 Leaf Quality)

Ingredients:

1/3 cup Olive Tap Aceto Balsamico di Modena 4 Leaf Quality (formerly named 18-year Traditional) Balsamic Vinegar
9 paper-thin slices Prosciutto
18 large scallops, about 1 ounce each
Olive Tap Extra Virgin Olive Oil (e.ge Arbequina, Ascalano, Castile)
Freshly ground black pepper

Cut the Prosciutto slices in half lengthwise. Wash the scallops and remove and discard the small, tough side muscle. Wrap a strip of Prosciutto around the width of each scallop; don't overlap it by more than an inch. Trim any excess bits of Prosciutto. Brush or spray the top and bottom of each scallop with olive oil and season with pepper.

Place the scallops, exposed side down, on the grate 1 to 2 inches apart. Grill over direct high heat until opaque in the center, 4 to 6 minutes, turning once. Remove from the grill. Place three scallops on each appetizer plate. Drizzle a spoonful of the balsamic glaze in a thin stream over and around the scallops. Serve immediately.
