Jake's on the Lake Style Shrimp Wrapped in Prosciutto
"This recipe supposedly is similar to the recipe used at a restaurant in California. This was from my magazine clippings,Bon Appetit I believe. Update: This does make a lot of sauce,so you might want to cut that portion of the recipe in half and also have some slices of crusty bread to dip in the extras (which is delicious). Also, if your shrimp aren't huge, you may need to use 2-3 smaller shrimp per skewer to get a nicer balance between the meat and basil."

Heather I really wish I could give ths dish a higher rating.All the ingredients were very nice but the shrimp/prawn flavor was overpowered and got lost by the prosciutto and the sauce. The sauce is very good and makes quite a large bowl, half the recipe would be enough for dipping the shrimp into.
