- Start by making pesto. Place all ingredients except the Extra virgin olive oil in food processor and pulse until finely mixed. With food processor going slowly add Extra virgin olive oil until you get the right consistency. I like it to be like a thin to medium paste. Place pesto into a large bowl and add cleaned shrimp toss lightly, cover set in refrigerator for half an hour.
- While shrimp are marinating I soak 4-6 wooden skewers in a tall glass of water so they will not burn on grill I turn them over at about 7 minutes. When ½ hour is up remove shrimp from pesto and wrap ½ slice of prosciutto around shrimp the place on skewer do this until you have all shrimp on skewers. Place on large platter and pour remaining pesto over kabobs.
- Start grill I use med high heat to start when coals are fiery orange. Rub grill with paper towel folded into quarter size and dipped in vegatable oil Place corn on grill. I grill it 2 minutes on every side then place on plate to cool. Place shrimp kabobs on grill watch them. I usually turn them over every 4-5 minutes until they are done. Should be pink may have some dark tails but that is all right you are not eating the tails. When shrimp has cooked remove to platter and let rest 6-8 minutes before removing them from skewers.
