Ingredients

18 cooked, frozen jumbo shrimp, defrosted
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
Coarse salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, eyeball it
2 cups trimmed arugula leaves
9 slices imported prosciutto, 1/3 pound
18 grape tomatoes
18 party picks, 3 or 4 inches long

Directions

Place shrimp in shallow dish and add lemon zest and juice, garlic, salt, pepper and extra-virgin olive oil. Toss shrimp to coat evenly with dressing. Arrange the arugula in piles of 2 or 3 leaves, working with 6 piles at a time. Pile up 3 slices of prosciutto and cut in half across.

To assemble the shrimp, place 1 shrimp on each pile of 2 or 3 arugula leaves then wrap the leaves up with the shrimp using the prosciutto. Assemble 6 pieces at a time, like an assembly line. Nest a grape tomato into the curve of the prosciutto wrapped shrimp and secure into place with a party pick.

Arrange the shrimp appetizers on a platter and don't forget to put out a small empty bowl near the shrimp platter to collect the tails of shrimp and party picks, once guests finish the appetizers.

Mediocre
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

Made these for Christmas and they were just OK. They weren't a hit. Its missing a dip or something. I had alot left over and... had to toss them. Definitely not 5 stars. They are very easy to make so I dont see how I could have went wrong on preparing it. I wouldn't go with these if you are hosting a party.Read more

Good

I made this for some army buddies and they liked it. I also used mint leaves and it added a nice flavor with the lemon.

Not my fav
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I don't know what I missed but this was difficult and time consuming. The prosciutto kept falling apart and the taste was... bland and a little greasy. They did look really classy on the tray, but I won't make these again!Read more

HUGE crowd pleaser
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I served this for my birthday party a few years back. My husband has decided that this is the ONLY warm shrimp he will eat. ... I think that's pretty high praise. Since my birthday I've served it several other times always to raves. It has great flavor, easy to put together, it's a winner all the way around. The nice thing is that it looks fancy, but is so easy.Read more

this is a meal
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Decided to try somehing new for our potluck gatherings, my friends love this recipe they always ask me for it now. It is... truly a meal in itself, the prosciutto and arugula combination is excellent and filling sometimes when i don't feel like having a meal I make it for myself. ThanksRead more
