Recipe: Prosciutto-Wrapped Shrimp (Appetizer)

Prosciutto-Wrapped Shrimp

Use Parma prosciutto for this dish-it's less salty than domestic brands.

24 large shrimp (about 1 pound), peeled and de-veined
1 teaspoon instant minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon dill weed
1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon leaves
1/2 pound prosciutto, sliced paper-thin
Non-stick cooking spray

In a medium bowl place shrimp, garlic, dill, and tarragon; toss to coat. Cut prosciutto slices in half lengthways. Wrap each shrimp in a half-slice of prosciutto.

Thread wrapped shrimp on skewers, leaving a little space between each piece. Spray lightly with cooking spray.

Place skewers on centre of cooking grate and grill for 5 to 6 minutes, turning once halfway through grilling time.

Note: If using wooden skewers, soak in water 30 minutes before using so ends won't burn during grilling.
