Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 6 slices prosciutto, halved
- 1/4 cup bourbon
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Ensure the shrimp are peeled and deveined. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which will help them crisp up when cooked.
- Next, take the prosciutto slices and cut each slice in half lengthwise, creating long strips. You will need one strip for each shrimp.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if you plan to bake the shrimp. Alternatively, you can prepare a grill or stovetop pan for cooking.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the bourbon, honey, and Dijon mustard. This will be your bourbon honey mustard sauce. Mix until well combined and set aside.
- Take one shrimp and wrap it with a strip of prosciutto, ensuring that the shrimp is fully covered. Place the wrapped shrimp on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat this process with the remaining shrimp.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the wrapped shrimp and season with salt and pepper to taste. This will enhance the flavor and help the prosciutto crisp up during cooking.
- If baking, place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the prosciutto is crispy and the shrimp are cooked through. If grilling, cook over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes per side, until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
- While the shrimp are cooking, give the bourbon honey mustard sauce a final whisk to ensure it’s well combined. You can warm it slightly in a small saucepan over low heat if you prefer it warm.
- Once the shrimp are cooked, remove them from the oven or grill and let them rest for a minute. Serve the prosciutto-wrapped shrimp hot, drizzled with the bourbon honey mustard sauce, and enjoy!
Tips
- Prep Your Shrimp: Make sure to pat your shrimp dry with paper towels before wrapping them in prosciutto. This will help achieve that perfect crispy texture when cooked.
- Choose the Right Prosciutto: Opt for high-quality prosciutto for the best flavor. Look for a brand that’s thinly sliced to ensure even wrapping around the shrimp.
- Don’t Overcrowd the Baking Sheet: When placing the wrapped shrimp on the baking sheet, make sure they have enough space between them. This allows for even cooking and crisping.
- Watch the Cooking Time: Keep an eye on the shrimp while they cook. Depending on your oven or grill, cooking times may vary slightly, so check for that beautiful pink color and crispiness.
- Serve with a Twist: For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a splash of lemon juice to the bourbon honey mustard sauce before serving. It adds a refreshing zing that pairs wonderfully with the dish.
- Garnish for Presentation: Don’t forget to garnish your plate with fresh herbs like parsley or chives. Not only does it enhance the visual appeal, but it also adds a pop of freshness to every bite!
