Prosciutto-Wrapped Basil Shrimp
Ready In: 20 mins
Serves: 4
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 fresh ground black pepper
- 10 very thin slices prosciutto (about 4 ounces total)
- cooking spray
- 8 lemon wedges, for serving
Directions
- Preheat broiler.
- In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp, basil, olive oil, zest, salt, red pepper flakes and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.
- 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.
- 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.
