Before I made this recipe I saw Frank&Jackie's review saying that the prosciutto made it too salty. When I made it, I left out the salt in the marinade and it came out DELICIOUS! If there had been any extra salt it definitely would have been too much. Seriously, you must make this recipe.

I made this recipe using bacon instead of prosciutto because that's what I had on hand. I partially cooked the bacon in the mincrowave on paper towels (absorbs a lot of grease and cut each piece in half. Grilled the shrimp as in the recipe. The bacon was crisp and the shrimp was not over cooked. I also made an extra batch of the maranade, put it in the blender for a few seconds, and used it as a dipping sauce. Really good stuff! I'll make this again.

We made these shrimp with prosciutto and regular bacon. The shrimp wrapped with prosciutto was very salty tasting. Prosciutto is normally salty but it over powered the shrimp. Everyone took the prosciutto off so they could eat the shrimp. The other shrimp wrapped with regular bacon was very good. The marinade you toss the shrimp in was also good. I will make these again but not with the prosciutto.
