Prosciutto Wrapped Scampi
Yum! Yum! Yum!
The flavor of shrimp and Prosciutto must have been sent down straight from the heavens.
This recipe can be used as either an appetizer or a main course.
Preparation Time: 1 1/2 Hours Serving Size: 4
- 12 jumbo shrimp, peeled and de-veined
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
|
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 3 slices Prosciutto, sliced thin
- 2 tablespoons Italian parsley, minced
- lemon wedges
|
Combine shrimp, wine, oil, garlic and crushed red pepper
in bowl; toss to coat. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour. Preheat broiler. Cut each
Prosciutto slice lengthwise in half and then crosswise in half. Drain
shrimp, reserving marinade. Wrap 1 Prosciutto strip around each shrimp and arrange in shallow broiler-proof
dish, tucking ends of Prosciutto strips under shrimp. Drizzle each shrimp with a little of
the marinade. Broil shrimp until Prosciutto begins to crisp and shrimp are cooked through.
Watch closely to avoid burning. Sprinkle with parsley; serve with lemon wedges. |
