Instructions
Skewers
- If you are not using metal skewers but use bamboo skewers, you will have them submerged in water for a couple of hours so they will not burn when grilling.
Marinade
- Combine tequila, olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, chopped basil, and pepper, and pour the shrimp into a shallow bowl to cover them.
- Marinade in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. If the marinated does not cover them fully, turn the shrimps once.
Getting Ready To Grill
- Remove the shrimp from the marinade and reserve the marinade.
- Wrap the middle of each shrimp first with a leave of basil and then with the prosciutto. Thread 4 shrimps lengthwise on each of 6 metal skewers.
- On the stove heat up a grilling plate over high heat.
- Grill the shrimp basting with the marinade for several minutes on each side. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Prawns are the perfect substitution for your large shrimp. However, you want only to use three for each person, dinner portion, as they are pretty filling.
- Sage can substitute the basil.
- White wine is an excellent substitution for tequila.
- If you are lucky to have leftovers, they save well for a day or two in a glass container with an air-tight lid. Please bring them back to room temperature before warming up in a small skillet with a drop of olive oil.
- You can also enjoy them at room temperature if you do wish.
