Preparation
Step 1
To Make The Prosciutto-Wrapped Shrimp:
Step 2
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Step 3
On a cutting board, slice the prosciutto into three long strips and then slice each of those strips in half. (You should have six long strips that are approximately 1-inch by 4-5 inches.) Wrap a piece of prosciutto around the body of a piece of shrimp, and lay it seam-side-down on a parchment-covered baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining shrimp and prosciutto.
Step 4
Brush the melted butter onto the top of each shrimp. Season with a few generous pinches of salt and pepper.
Step 5
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the prosciutto is slightly crispy. Serve warm, with cocktail forks if desired.
Step 6
To Make The Garlic Butter Dipping Sauce:
Step 7
