Grilled Shrimp Wrapped In Serrano Ham Food

SERRANO-WRAPPED SHERRY SHRIMP

Steps:

• Toss the shrimp with the garlic, half of the lemon juice, the oregano, a fat drizzle of EVOO, a few shakes hot sauce, the parsley and some salt and pepper. Wrap each shrimp in a slice of ham.
• Drizzle some olive oil in a large skillet and heat over medium-high to high heat. Add the shrimp and cook until the ham is brown and crisp and the shrimp are firm and pink at the ends. Remove the shrimp to a platter. Pour the sherry in the pan, swirl, then add the butter and the remaining lemon juice, and swirl to gloss the sauce. Pour the sauce over the shrimp and serve.

GRILLED SHRIMP WRAPPED IN SERRANO HAM

Steps:

• Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving tails on. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and coat in olive oil. (If using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning).
• Wrap each shrimp with a piece of ham, about two inches long, and skewer the shrimp so the ham is held securely around the shrimp. Place the skewers over a high temperature, grill and cook for 2 minutes per side, or until the shrimp is opaque. Serve immediately.
