"Hors d'oeuvres have always a pathetic interest for me; they remind me of one's childhood that one goes through wondering what the next course is going to be like-and during the rest of the menu one wishes one had eaten more of the hors d'oeuvres."

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.
