Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

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

Steps:

  • 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.
