- Prep Time:
- Cook Time:
- Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 5 shrimp)
Ingredients
- 20 large frozen peeled deveined shrimp, thawed
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
- 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 10 (about 4 ounces) very thin slices prosciutto
- Cooking spray
- 8 lemon wedges, for serving
Preparation
1. Preheat broiler.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp, basil, olive oil, zest, salt, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.
3. Lay the prosciutto slices on a large work surface, and cut prosciutto in half lengthwise so you have 20 pieces. Wrap the prosciutto around each shrimp, leaving the tail hanging out, and thread on an 8-inch skewer. Repeat with remaining shrimp for a total of 4 skewers with 5 shrimp each.
4. Place the skewers on a broiling pan lightly coated with cooking spray. Broil the shrimp 2 minutes on each side. Serve hot with lemon wedges.
