Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 pieces Large prawns, peeled and deveined
- 8 pieces Prosciutto slices, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Pat the prawns dry with paper towels and place them in a medium-sized bowl.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Pour this mixture over the prawns and toss to coat evenly.
Cut each slice of prosciutto in half lengthwise to create 16 strips.
Wrap each prawn tightly with a strip of prosciutto, starting at the thicker end and spiraling down to the tail. Place the wrapped prawns seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the prosciutto is crisp and the prawns are opaque and fully cooked.
Remove the prawns from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the prawns.
