Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pat 1 lb extra large shrimp (24 pieces) dry with a paper towel.
  • In a large bowl, combine 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, ½ teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes.
    A glass mixing bowl with a honey garlic marinade being whisked together with a wire whisk.
  • Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the marinade.

  • Let the shrimp marinate in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
  • Slice 6 slices of prosciutto in half lengthwise and then slice in half crosswise to get 4 equal pieces per slice.
  • Take one piece of prosciutto and wrap it around each shrimp, leaving the tail exposed. Ensure the prosciutto is wrapped tightly around the shrimp.
  • Place the shrimp seam side down on the parchment lined baking sheet, leaving a little room in between each piece of shrimp. Repeat with remaining shrimp. You will need 24 pieces of prosciutto to wrap the shrimp.

  • Bake the prosciutto wrapped shrimp in the oven at 425°F (220°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping the shrimp over halfway through. Bake until the shrimp is opaque and the prosciutto is crispy. Serve warm with toothpicks for easy serving.

Notes

  • Gluten-free: This recipe is naturally gluten-free as written. Prosciutto is typically gluten-free but always check the label to be sure.
  • Shrimp size: This recipe uses 24/30 extra large shrimp. Smaller shrimp are harder to wrap and the ratio of prosciutto to shrimp gets off. Stick with large or extra large.
  • Air fryer: Cook at 400°F for 6 to 8 minutes, checking at the 6 minute mark. The prosciutto will crisp up faster in the air fryer than in the oven so keep a close eye on them.
