JUMBO SHRIMP WITH PROSCIUTTO AND BASIL



Jumbo Shrimp with Prosciutto and Basil image

These shrimp are a glamorous departure from burgers and hotdogs, yet are just as easy to fix. They only take a few minutes on the grill, so plan on cooking some other veggies to go with the shrimp while you have the grill hot. These shrimp can be the star attraction of a meal, or just serve one or two as a terrific appetizer for even greater things to come. Prep time indicated does not include the time marinating in the refrigerator.

My family and friends just love this simple, yet elegant entree. I have been making it for years, and it never fails to impress! The rosemary skewers are so fragrant on the grill, and give the shrimp a wonderful flavor! I have a huge hedge of rosemary in my yard and select the mature, wood sticks and remove the leaves, except the tops. ENJOY this simple dish...........

Tips:

  • To ensure the shrimp are cooked evenly, use a large skillet or griddle so that they can be spread out in a single layer.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan, or the shrimp will steam instead of sear.
  • Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink and opaque throughout.
  • If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Jumbo shrimp with prosciutto and basil is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. The shrimp are cooked to perfection and wrapped in crispy prosciutto, then topped with a flavorful basil pesto. This dish is sure to impress your guests, and it's also a great way to use up any leftover shrimp you may have.
