Prosciutto-wrapped Scampi

PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED SCAMPI

Here's a great prelude to a main-course pasta.

12 uncooked jumbo shrimp, peeled deveined 1/2 cup dry white wine 1/3 cup olive oil 2 garlic cloves, minced 1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper

3 thin prosciutto slices, each slice cut lengthwise in half, then crosswise in half

2 tablespoons minced Italian parsley Lemon wedges

Combine shrimp, wine, oil, garlic and crushed pepper in bowl; toss to coat. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour. Preheat broiler. Drain shrimp, reserving marinade. Wrap 1 prosciutto strip around each shrimp. Arrange 3 shrimp in each of 4 shallow broilerproof dishes, tucking ends of prosciutto strips under shrimp. Drizzle 1 tablespoon marinade over shrimp in each dish.

Broil shrimp about 6 inches from heat source until prosciutto begins to crisp and shrimp are cooked through; watch closely to avoid burning, about 6 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve with lemon wedges.

4 Appetizer servings.
