A wonderful appetizer recipe from the cookbook Beginnings. Easy to prepare ahead. Ingredients:
1 lb shrimp, cleaned and peeled (21 to 25 count) |
4 ounces chevre cheese |
4 roasted garlic cloves, minced (use your favourite method or recipe) |
3 sprigs fresh rosemary, finely minced |
fresh ground black pepper |
8 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced and then sliced in half lengthwise |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
Directions:
1. Using a small knife, butterfly the shrimp lengthwise, slicing about halfway through. Mix together the chevre, garlic, rosemary and pepper. Dab about 1/2 teaspoons of the mixture into the sliced pocket of each shrimp, wrap with a piece of prosciutto, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. When all the shrimp have been stuffed and wrapped, drizzle them with the olive oil, crack a little pepper over top, wrap well and refrigerate until needed.
2. When it's cooking time, preheat the oven to 425'. Cook until the shrimp are pink and beginning to curl, about 5 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.
