I love these shrimp, I make them for BBQ’s, great to top a salad or to pair up with a steak.  It’s easy, very few ingredients, paleo and ppl don’t even know it!  super flavorful.

This is right before they hit the grill, the basil is hidden under the prosciutto

Ingredients:

30 jumbo shrimps, peeled, cooked and cooled (do not over cook).

10 thinly sliced procutto ( and cut length wise in 3, total 30 long strips)

30 basil leaves

3 tbs olive oil

1 chives thinly sliced

1 galic clove crushed

pinch of pepper

15 small wooden skewers

Instructions

Wrap each individual shrimp with a basil leaf, then the strip of prosciutto.  Immediately put on skewer (2 per skewer).  Mix olive oil, garlic, chives, pepper and brush on  shrimp skewers before placing them on the grill or BBQ.  Grill on each side till prosciutto is crispy ( approx. 2-3 mins ea. side).

They are seriously mouth watering.
