My First Food Network Recipe: Pancetta- or Prosciutto-Wrapped Shrimp with Sage
This is a recipe of my moms so I thought it would be good luck to make it for my first pilot/demo of "30 Minute Meals" at Food Network. Other than setting Emeril’s set on fire accidentally, it all went well and everyone really liked my food.
Serve alongside The Ultimate Springtime Risotto
Ingredients
- 12 6- to 8-count shrimp or prawns, tail-on and deveined
- 1 lemon
- EVOO – Extra Virgin Olive Oil, for liberal drizzling plus 1 tablespoon
- Sea salt and black pepper
- 12 large sage leaves
- 12 slices pancetta or thinly sliced prosciutto
Yields: 4
Preparation
Rinse and dry shrimp. Dress the shrimp with the juice of 1/2 lemon; cut remainder of lemon into small wedges. Drizzle liberally with EVOO and season with a little sea salt and some black pepper. Place a sage leaf down the back of each shrimp where it has been deveined and then wrap carefully and snugly with pancetta or prosciutto. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
Heat 1 tablespoon EVOO in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook to pink and firm, and until pancetta or ham is crisp, 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally. Serve with lemon wedges alongside.
