Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 pieces Large shrimp (peeled and deveined, tail on)
- 16 slices Prosciutto (thinly sliced)
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel and place them in a large bowl.
Drizzle the shrimp with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder and paprika. Toss to coat evenly.
Take one piece of shrimp and wrap it tightly with a slice of prosciutto, leaving the tail uncovered. Repeat with the remaining shrimp.
Arrange the prosciutto-wrapped shrimp on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down to secure the prosciutto in place.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque, and the prosciutto is slightly crispy.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
