Steps:
- In a medium-size pot bring water to a boil. Add butter, salt, and pepper. Mix in dry polenta and let cook until thickened, approximately 8 minutes.
- When the polenta has thickened, gently blend mascarpone cheese into it. Remove the pan from heat. Spread polenta-cheese mixture to a 2-inch thickness on an oil-coated surface. When cool, cut a disk using a drinking glass as a cutter. Saute polenta disks in olive oil, in a non-stick skillet. Set aside. (Can be prepared in advance).
- Coat shrimp with hazelnuts and wrap each with a slice of ham. In a skillet, saute shrimp carefully in remaining olive oil. Remove shrimp from the pan and keep them warm.
- Pour hazelnut liquor into another skillet (or the same skillet used to saute the shrimp, cleaned). When hazelnut flavored liquor is hot (but well under the boiling point), carefully flambe (by touching the edge of the pan with the flame of a match or taper). Be careful and stand back when cooking with open flame! When flames die down, add cream and remaining hazelnuts. Lower heat and continue cooking until mixture thickens.
- To assemble, place a polenta disk in the center of a serving dish. Arrange shrimp around the plate. Drizzle sauce mixture on top. Garnish with green onions.

JAKE'S ON THE LAKE STYLE SHRIMP WRAPPED IN PROSCIUTTO
This recipe supposedly is similar to the recipe used at a restaurant in California. This was from my magazine clippings,Bon Appetit I believe. Update: This does make a lot of sauce,so you might want to cut that portion of the recipe in half and also have some slices of crusty bread to dip in the extras (which is delicious). Also, if your shrimp aren't huge, you may need to use 2-3 smaller shrimp per skewer to get a nicer balance between the meat and basil.

Steps:
- Preheat broiler.

- 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.

- Use large shrimp for this recipe, as they will be easier to wrap with prosciutto.
- If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning.
- Wrap the prosciutto around the shrimp tightly, but not too tightly, or the shrimp will become tough.
- Cook the shrimp over medium heat, turning them occasionally, until the prosciutto is browned and crispy and the shrimp are cooked through.
- Serve the shrimp immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
