Description
This appetizer hits all the right notes for us. It’s salty, buttery and totally delicious when shared with others and paired with wine. Make plateful of these prosciutto-wrapped shrimp with sage-garlic butter for your next gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds jumbo wild shrimp
- 6 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
- 4 tablespoons salted butter
- 4 garlic cloves (minced)
- 6 sage leaves (minced)
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Peel and clean the shrimp, leaving tails on if you like. (Tails make a nice presentation and a useful handle, but you can serve the appetizer with cocktail forks or toothpicks instead.)
- Cut each slice of prosciutto into two or three long strips. Wrap one strip around each shrimp. Place shrimp on a rimmed baking sheet lined with a piece of parchment paper that just fits.
- Melt butter in a small pot. Brush about half of the butter over the shrimp. Preheat broiler to high.
- While broiler preheats, add garlic and sage to remaining butter. Cook on medium heat for a minute or two, until very fragrant.
- Broil shrimp for about 90 seconds, until shrimp are turning opaque and prosciutto begins to cook. Flip shrimp with tongs and broil about 60 seconds more, until just cooked through.
- Transfer shrimp to a serving platter. Brush with garlic sage butter and sprinkle with black pepper. Serve immediately.
