I wasn't expecting much from this dish, since it seemed very simple; honestly, I was looking for a dish using sage, which I have growing abundantly in my garden. I fell in love at first bite - this is a dish that really delivers the flavor! I let the shrimp "marinate" in their sage/pancetta wrappers for an hour or so before pan-frying, and I put a lid on the pan as I cooked each side. The results were amazing. The sage had a slight acidity that paired well with the richness of the pancetta, and the shrimp had a bit of char to it that was very tasty. All around great dish, as an appetizer or a main course.

Enjoyed these very much, although since I could not find sliced pancetta I used proscuito instead. I think it would be better with pancetta.

This looked great and was easy to prepare although it took me much more than 30 minutes. I wasn't fond of sage, but would try it with something else next time.

Once a month for the past 10 yrs my parents have a bbq with friends. I was coming home for the weekend and made this appetizer...it was a hit!

Now I've continued the tradition and instead have 'Za' Night (pizZa night once a month with my friends. I am serving this as an appetizer to our own monthly meal. Can't wait! I know my 20-30 year old friends will love it!

I was sad when I ate the last bite! This is incredibly easy and it makes your mouth happy! My husband loved it as well. The kids prefered to eat the shrimp without the "green stuff", but just as well because we got to eat their extras. So much flavor!
