Prosciutto Wrapped Honey Lemon Shrimp
Description
Prosciutto Wrapped Honey Lemon Shrimp combines peeled, deveined shrimp coated in a mixture of lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, honey, parsley, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Each shrimp is individually wrapped in a thin slice of prosciutto, which crisps up under the broiler, adding a salty, savory contrast to the subtly sweet and citrusy shrimp. The broiling process is quick, taking about 5–6 minutes, and the shrimp should be turned halfway to ensure even cooking and browning. The result is a pleasing blend of textures with crisp prosciutto and juicy shrimp inside.
This dish works well as an elegant appetizer or a complementary protein for light meals. Adding extra minced parsley and lemon zest as garnish can enhance the fresh flavors.
Prosciutto may be omitted if preferred, though this changes the dish's character and calorie count. Using fresh lemon juice and zest will strengthen the brightness of the glaze. Ensuring shrimp are properly thawed and patted dry before coating helps achieve a crisp finish.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. Shrimp peeled and deveined, tails on is preferred (24 ct
- 3/4 tsp lemon zest
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice fresh is best
- 1 1/2 Tbsp honey
- 1 tsp parsley fresh, minced
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 oz prosciutto thinly sliced
Instructions
- If using frozen shrimp, make sure they're thawed first, then pat dry. Set aside. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil, top with an oven safe cooling rack that's been lightly sprayed with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, parsley, paprika and pepper, whisking to combine well. Add shrimp to bowl and toss gently to coat. Preheat broiler to HIGH and position rack so the food will be approximately 5 inches from the heat.
- Slice prosciutto slices in half across, then in half lengthwise, so each slice has 4 pieces. Wrap a piece of prosciutto around shrimp, securing with a toothpick. Place shrimp on prepared pan and repeat with remaining shrimp.
- Broil 5-6 minutes, turning shrimp over once about 2-3 minutes in, until shrimp is cooked through and prosciutto is crisp.
Notes
- Prosciutto can be left out to reduce calories, changing the texture and flavor profile.
- For best flavor, use fresh lemon juice and zest in the honey glaze.
- Serve immediately after broiling to keep prosciutto crispy and shrimp tender.
