directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375F (190C).
Step 2
Finely grate 1/2 tsp (2 mL) peel from lemon. Place peeled shrimp in a medium bowl. Sprinkle with lemon peel and ground pepper. Toss to evenly coat. Cut each slice of prosciutto, crosswise, into 4 pieces. The amount of prosciutto required will vary depending on the amount of shrimp. Wrap a piece of prosciutto around the centre of shrimp, then place on a baking sheet. Continue with remaining ingredients, spacing shrimp apart.
Step 3
Bake wrapped-shrimp in centre of preheated oven until shrimp are pink, 4 to 5 minutes. Squeeze some juice from lemon overtop. Serve warm.
