Smoked Paprika Prosciutto Wrapped Shrimp Food

CREAMY SHRIMP GRITS WITH PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• For grits:
• Bring chicken stock, whipping cream, butter and garlic to boil in heavy large saucepan. Gradually whisk in corn grits. Return to boil, whisking constantly. Reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered until grits thicken, whisking often, about 15 minutes.
• For shrimp:
• Melt 1/4 cup butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots and garlic and sauté until tender, about 4 minutes. Add shrimp and sauté 2 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer shrimp to large bowl. Add white wine to skillet and boil until reduced to glaze, about 5 minutes. Add drained diced tomatoes and half of prosciutto and simmer until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Add parsley, chives and sautéed shrimp and simmer until shrimp are warmed through, about 2 minutes. Thin sauce with some of reserved tomato juices, if desired. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Spoon corn grits into shallow bowls. Top each serving with shrimp-prosciutto-tomato mixture, dividing equally. Garnish with remaining prosciutto strips and serve immediately.
• *Corn grits, also known as polenta, are available at Italian markets, natural foods stores and some supermarkets. If unavailable, substitute 1 cup regular yellow cornmeal and cook about 8 minutes.

SMOKED PAPRIKA PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED SHRIMP RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Place the skewers in water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. Heat the broiler to high and arrange a rack at the top, about 3 inches from the heat source. Combine the oil, paprika, and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the shrimp and toss until evenly coated. Starting at the thicker headend, skewer each shrimp through its center until the skewer emerges at the thinner tail end. Tearing the prosciutto as needed, wrap each shrimp in a piece large enough to just cover its surface. Place on a baking sheet. Broil until the shrimp are opaque and the prosciutto is crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes.
