Recipe type: Appetizer
Serves: 6-8 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 lb shrimp (20-40 count per pound size works well), peeled and deveined
  • 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ΒΌ tsp salt
  • About 5 slices of prosciutto
  • A little fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
  1. Mix oil and garlic in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high 1 minute. (This will cook the garlic a little and get the flavor into the oil.)
  2. Let oil cool down a few minutes.
  3. Mix shrimp, garlic/oil, and salt in a zip-lock bag and refrigerate at least a half hour.
  4. Slice each prosciutto slice lengthwise in 3 strips and then cut the strips in half crosswise, yielding 6 pieces prosciutto from each slice.
  5. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  6. Wrap a piece of prosciutto around the center of each shrimp and place shrimp on a rack over a sheet pan.
  7. Bake shrimp at 375 degrees F for 8 minutes.
  8. Turn all shrimp over and bake about another 5 minutes until shrimp are just cooked through.
  9. Arrange in a circular pattern on a plate, garnish with a few parsley leaves, and serve warm.
