Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 pieces large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails on)
- 8 slices prosciutto, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1.5 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 16 pieces toothpicks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice each piece of prosciutto in half lengthwise to create 16 strips.
Wrap each shrimp tightly with a strip of prosciutto, starting at the thicker end of the shrimp and spiraling down. Secure the end with a toothpick if necessary.
In a small saucepan, combine honey, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and minced garlic. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture slightly thickens, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Brush half of the glaze over the wrapped shrimp.
Place the wrapped shrimp on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the prosciutto begins to crisp.
Remove the shrimp from the oven, flip each over, and brush with the remaining glaze.
Return to the oven and broil for an additional 2 minutes, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
Sprinkle the cooked shrimp with chopped parsley and a light sprinkle of black pepper.
Serve immediately and enjoy the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors.
