Directions

    Prosciutto wrapped Scallops atop Fried Green Tomatoes with Summer Corn Succotash and Chili Lime Butter:

    1. Fold each slice of prosciutto in half lengthwise. Wrap slices around each scallop, leaving the tops and bottoms free.
    2. Heat vegetable oil in a cast iron skillet - medium high.
    3. Combine cornmeal, flour, cayenne and garlic; season with s/p.
    4. Dunk the green tomato slices into the buttermilk, then dredge in cornmeal mixture. Shake off excess breading.
    5. Pan-fry the green tomatoes until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Remove to a clean plate and season with salt.
    6. Heat 1 T xvoo on medium-high and sear the wrapped scallops. These will cook quickly - about 2 minutes per side - remove to a clean plate, covering with foil to keep warm.
    7. Heat the remaining 2 T xvoo and add the garlic to infuse the oil, careful not to burn the garlic. Add the corn and saute for 2 mins. Add poblanos, scallions and cilantro, stir into corn and heat through.
    8. Add lime juice to the corn mixture, season to taste with s/p and add the chili powder.
    9. Toss in the tomatoes and Heat through.
    10. Stir in the butter, incorporating it through the entire corn/tomato mix and turn off the heat.
    11. Place 2 fried green tomato slices on a dinner plate, spooning a heap of the corn succotash on top. Place 4 wrapped scallops around the mixture, dolloping each with the chipotle cream. More chopped cilantro will garnish the dish.
