I was introduced to Fire Wire during #burgermonth. And it was, truly, love at first try. When they agreed to sponsor this event - #10DaysofTailgate - I was beyond thrilled. Here's what I'm sharing today...
Keep reading for the recipe. But, first...
- No pre-soaking! Fire Wire grilling skewers are made of 100% food grade stainless steel, so you aren't having to soak bamboo skewers to avoid splinters in your food!
- They're big! Fire Wire grilling skewers hold two or three times the amount of food as those bamboo skewers. I always to have leave grabbing space on a traditional skewer. These, you can load up to the end; you just grab it by the loop.
- Easy clean-up! They are dishwasher safe (I don't have a dishwasher, but that's cool) and have a life-time guarantee (This is very cool).
What I didn't like about them...
- They only come in a pack of two! ;) I need to get my hands on a few more.
Now for the recipe...
Ingredients- 1/2 lb large scallops
- 1/2 lb large prawns
- pancetta (I used 2 rounds of pancetta per scallop and prawn for full-coverage)
- olive oil
- lemon wedges for serving
Wrap each scallop and prawn with two slices of pancetta, trying to cover as much of the seafood as you can.
Thread the scallop or prawn onto the skewers.
When the skewer is full, drizzle with olive oil.
Grill as desired. Or, do as I do, and hand your skewered goodies to the resident Grill-Master.
Serve with lemon wedges.

*drooling* Wow, Camilla! Those look amazing! I wonder if I could broil those. Hm... now there's an idea.
ReplyDeleteYummy!! Beautiful dish Camilla - I bet your family LOVED that! I've never cooked with pancetta before - I bet it worked beautifully with the seafood. MMM! :)
ReplyDeleteOh! My! Yes! Fresh seafood plus pancetta and lemon gets me every time.
ReplyDeleteJust getting ready to grill some shrimp on the barbie here. I hope ours turns out as good as this!
ReplyDeleteThese are making my mouth water like crazy. Another wonderful thing about the Fire Wire is that the handle stays cool to the touch.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to do wrapped foods! No need for millions of toothpicks!
ReplyDeleteHubby and I want to devour this recipe. We loved the skewers too, so easy to use, and so fabulous with meat or veggies. Your recipe sounds awesome! Yum, Hugs, Terra
