Ingredients

20 extra-large shrimp - peeled, deveined, and tails removed
20 leaves fresh basil
¼ cup creamy goat cheese
10 thin slices prosciutto, halved crosswise

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Make thin slit in the back of each shrimp, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Tuck 1 basil leaf into the opening of each shrimp, followed by 1/2 teaspoon of goat cheese. Wrap 1/2 of a prosciutto slice around each shrimp from bottom to tail.
Arrange stuffed shrimp on a baking sheet. Brush each lightly with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven until shrimp is pink and prosciutto is crispy, 4 to 5 minutes.
