Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the honey, olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
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 the prosciutto in half lengthwise and then slice in half crosswise to get 4 equal pieces.
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

If you have celiac disease or are on a gluten-free diet for any reason, be sure to double check that all of your ingredients are gluten-free.
If you’re using frozen shrimp, let them thaw in the refrigerator overnight or let them run under COLD water in a strainer or bowl for 15-20 minutes until thawed. Do not leave out at room temperature or use hot water to thaw the shrimp.
For easy preparation, buy shrimp that is already peeled and deveined. If you’re serving these as an appetizer, leave the tail on for a beautiful presentation. If you’re serving them in a salad or on top of pasta, remove the tail so you can easily cut up the meal and eat it without having to worry about the tail.
For the best texture and flavor, serve the shrimp immediately after baking while the prosciutto is still crispy.
