Prosciutto and Basil-Wrapped Shrimp

Ingredients

For 8 people

  • 24 fresh basil leaves
  • 12 thin slices prosciutto, each cut in half lengthwise
  • 24 extra-large shrimp, peeled and deveined, or large sea scallops
  • 24 bamboo skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling
  • 5 1/2 tablespoon(s) red wine vinegar; Garlic Dipping Sauce
  • 6 teaspoon(s) Dijon mustard; Garlic Dipping Sauce
  • 1 large clove garlic, chopped; Garlic Dipping Sauce
  • 1 cup(s) olive oil; Garlic Dipping Sauce

Directions

Place 1 basil leaf at the short end of a slice of prosciutto and a shrimp on top of the basil. Roll the shrimp in the prosciutto, then thread lengthwise onto a skewer. Repeat with the remaining basil, prosciutto, and shrimp. Place the skewers on a baking sheet and refrigerate until ready to cook.

To make the sauce, combine the vinegar, mustard and garlic in a food processor or blender. With the machine running, add the olive oil in a slow, steady stream. Process until combined. 10-15 minutes before you are ready to grill, spoon about 1/3 of the sauce over the shrimp skewers to marinate. Transfer the rest of the dipping sauce to a small bowl. Prepare a medium-hot fire in a grill. Grill the shrimp, turning often, until opaque, about 6 minutes. Arrange the cooked skewers on a platter and serve with the dipping sauce on the side.
