Ingredients

• 16 pieces large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails on)
• 8 slices prosciutto, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1.5 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 16 pieces toothpicks

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Slice each piece of prosciutto in half lengthwise to create 16 strips.

Step 3

Wrap each shrimp tightly with a strip of prosciutto, starting at the thicker end of the shrimp and spiraling down. Secure the end with a toothpick if necessary.

Step 4

In a small saucepan, combine honey, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and minced garlic. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture slightly thickens, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Brush half of the glaze over the wrapped shrimp.

Step 6

Place the wrapped shrimp on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the prosciutto begins to crisp.

Step 7

Remove the shrimp from the oven, flip each over, and brush with the remaining glaze.

Step 8

Return to the oven and broil for an additional 2 minutes, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.

Step 9

Sprinkle the cooked shrimp with chopped parsley and a light sprinkle of black pepper.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors.
