Recipe TIPS

- Avoid adding salt as the prosciutto will bring the salty-savory balance to the sweet and tangy sauce.
- Take the stress out of last-minute party prep—wrap the shrimp and mix the sauce up to 24 hours in advance and then pop in the oven or skillet right before serving.
Shrimp and Prosciutto with Smoky Honey Mustard Sauce
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons stone ground mustard any favorite
- 1 1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 1/2 pound shrimp (21-25 count) , shells and tails removed
- 3 slices prosciutto — quartered , quartered (or more depending on shrimp count)
Instructions
For the Honey Mustard Sauce
- Mix the mustard, mayo, honey, and liquid smoke in a small bowl until well combined. Taste and adjust any component, as desired.
Prepping the Shrimp and Prosciutto
- Using a sharp knife, cut each slice of prosciutto to create 4 equal pieces. Wrap one of the cut pieces around the shrimp so that the prosciutto goes all the way around and wraps over itself to keep it in place.
- Once all the shrimp are wrapped, you can either pan-sear over med-high heat or broil on Hi for 4 to 5 minutes on each side to crisp the prosciutto. Once the prosciutto is crisp on both sides, remove from the oven and serve with the mustard sauce.
