This simple yet elegant dish can be prepared in just a few steps, making it perfect for entertaining guests or enjoying a special meal at home.
- Make sure the shrimp is cleaned and deveined before starting the recipe.
- Cut the prosciutto slices in half lengthwise for better wrapping around the shrimp.
- Soak toothpicks in water for about 10 minutes before using them to secure the prosciutto to the shrimp. This prevents the toothpicks from burning during cooking.
- For the best flavor, use fresh basil and freshly squeezed lemon juice.
- Be careful not to overcook the shrimp. They should be pink and opaque, which usually takes about 2-3 minutes on each side depending on the size of the shrimp.
