Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

5-7 thin slices prosciutto
1 pound jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined (tail on or off)
2 tablespoons butter, melted
salt and pepper
1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) butter, melted
2 teaspoons garlic powder
pinch of salt and pepper

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.

Categories     Side Dish     Grain Side Dish Recipes     Polenta Recipes

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups water
1 tablespoon butter
salt and pepper to taste
½ cup polenta
6 ounces mascarpone cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 large shrimp - peeled and deveined
1 ½ cups finely chopped toasted hazelnuts
6 (1/2 ounce) slices prosciutto
2 fluid ounces hazelnut liqueur
⅔ cup heavy cream
4 green onions, with tops flared

Steps:

  • In a medium-size pot bring water to a boil. Add butter, salt, and pepper. Mix in dry polenta and let cook until thickened, approximately 8 minutes.
  • When the polenta has thickened, gently blend mascarpone cheese into it. Remove the pan from heat. Spread polenta-cheese mixture to a 2-inch thickness on an oil-coated surface. When cool, cut a disk using a drinking glass as a cutter. Saute polenta disks in olive oil, in a non-stick skillet. Set aside. (Can be prepared in advance).
  • Coat shrimp with hazelnuts and wrap each with a slice of ham. In a skillet, saute shrimp carefully in remaining olive oil. Remove shrimp from the pan and keep them warm.
  • Pour hazelnut liquor into another skillet (or the same skillet used to saute the shrimp, cleaned). When hazelnut flavored liquor is hot (but well under the boiling point), carefully flambe (by touching the edge of the pan with the flame of a match or taper). Be careful and stand back when cooking with open flame! When flames die down, add cream and remaining hazelnuts. Lower heat and continue cooking until mixture thickens.
  • To assemble, place a polenta disk in the center of a serving dish. Arrange shrimp around the plate. Drizzle sauce mixture on top. Garnish with green onions.
