The weather has been crappy lately but we still decided to grill this weekend. We felt like treating ourselves, so we went for the always delicious home made pizza with new toppings (mushrooms and pineapple). But we also decided to try something new: Prosciutto covered shrimp!
We bought some uncooked shrimp on the shell which I cleaned and deveined (keeping the tails). Then marinated them on olive oil, pepper, paprika and chili flakes for about 1 hour. Then I took a slice of prosciutto, cut it in half (lengthwise) and rolled each shrimp securing them with a toothpick. We cooked them for about 1-2 min each side, making sure NOT to over cooked them which is pretty easy because they cook super fast.
They came out super tender, the prosciutto crunchy and salty and delicious! These would be perfect for a special party (special because the ingredients aren't cheap) as an appetizer. We'll be making them again for sure.
