Shrimp In Flak Jackets Of Prosciutto And Roasted Garlic Recipes

EASY PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• 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.
• Brush the melted butter onto the top of each shrimp. Season with a few generous pinches of salt and pepper.
• 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.
• Whisk all ingredients together until combined. Season with extra salt and pepper if desired, and serve warm.

• Drain shrimp. Cut each piece of prosciutto in half, lengthwise and wrap around each shrimp, securing well with a toothpick.
• Saute the shrimp in a non-stick pan, that has been heated and lightly brushed with olive oil. Cook only to seal the prosciutto to shrimp. Place each piece on broiler pan and grill under broiler for 2 minutes on each side. Careful not to burn the prosciutto or overcook the shrimp.

GARLIC & HERB ROASTED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Melt the butter over low heat in a medium (10-inch) saute pan. Add the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and cook over low heat for one minute. Off the heat, zest one of the lemons directly into the butter mixture.
• Meanwhile, arrange the shrimp snugly in one layer in a large (12-inch) round ovenproof sauté pan (or 10 × 13-inch baking dish) with only the tails overlapping. Pour the butter mixture over the shrimp. Sprinkle with the sea salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Slice the ends off the zested lemon, cut five (1/4-inch-thick) slices, and tuck them among the shrimp. Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, just until the shrimp are firm, pink, and cooked through. Cut the remaining lemon in half and squeeze the juice onto the shrimp. Serve hot with the toasted bread for dipping into the garlic butter.

PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED HEAD-ON SHRIMP WITH A WARM FENNEL, RADICCHIO AND GRAPEFRUIT SALAD

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a small, heavily salted pot of cold water with the smashed garlic. Bring the water to a boil, then cook until the potatoes are tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain and cool on a quarter sheet tray.
• Using kitchen shears and starting below the head, slide a blade along the back of a shrimp until you reach the tail. Peel the skin off, being careful to keep the head and tail intact. Devein if necessary and very briefly rinse. Repeat with the remaining shrimp.
• Wrap each piece of shrimp with a slice of prosciutto and secure with a toothpick. Thinly slice the remaining prosciutto and set aside.
• Heavily coat a pan in olive oil and place over medium-high heat. Working in batches, saute the shrimp until the prosciutto is crisp and the shrimp has turned pink, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the pan and let cool, then remove the toothpicks.
• Using the same pan and additional olive oil if necessary, fry the extra prosciutto slices until crisp, about 2 minutes. Turn down the heat to medium and add the potatoes. Cook for 2 minutes, then add the red onion. Cook until the onions are soft, about 4 minutes, then add the red wine vinegar and lightly mix. Turn the heat to low and add the fennel, reserved juice from the grapefruit and the red pepper flakes. Reduce for an additional minute or two. Add the radicchio and arugula and gently toss to coat. Season to taste.
• Plate a large spoonful of warm salad and top with 3 pieces of shrimp. Garnish with a couple grapefruit supremes and fennel fronds. Repeat to make one more serving

SHRIMP IN FLAK JACKETS OF PROSCIUTTO AND ROASTED GARLIC

Steps:

• Using a small knife, butterfly the shrimp lengthwise, slicing about halfway through. Mix together the chevre, garlic, rosemary and pepper. Dab about 1/2 teaspoons of the mixture into the sliced pocket of each shrimp, wrap with a piece of prosciutto, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. When all the shrimp have been stuffed and wrapped, drizzle them with the olive oil, crack a little pepper over top, wrap well and refrigerate until needed.
• When it's cooking time, preheat the oven to 425'. Cook until the shrimp are pink and beginning to curl, about 5 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.
