PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED SCAMPI

Category: Seafood

12 uncooked jumbo shrimp, peeled, deveined
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 tsp dried crushed red pepper
3 thin prosciutto slices, each slice cut lengthwise in half, then crosswise in half
2 tbsp minced Italian parsley
Lemon wedges

Combine shrimp, wine, oil, garlic and crushed pepper in bowl; toss to coat. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour. Preheat broiler. Drain shrimp, reserving marinade.

Wrap 1 prosciutto strip around each shrimp. Arrange 3 shrimp in each of 4 shallow heatproof dishes, tucking ends of prosciutto strips under shrimp. Drizzle 1 tbsp marinade over shrimp in each dish. Broil shrimp about 6 inches from heat source until prosciutto begins to crisp and shrimp are cooked through; watch carefully to avoid burning, about 6 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve with lemon wedges. 4 appetizer servings.
