Equipment

4 - 8" skewers
Air Fryer (Optional)

Ingredients

Marinade

2 Tbsps bourbon
1 tablespoon soy sauce low sodium preferred See Note 1 below.
3 Tbsps maple syrup
2 tsps Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon chili powder

Shrimp

24 jumbo shrimp See Note 2 below.
6 slices prosciutto See Note 3 below.

Instructions

Marinade

Mix all marinade ingredients together and stir till well blended.

Shrimp

Peel and devein shrimp if required. Leave tails on.
Pour marinade over shrimp and refrigerate up to 20 minutes.
Remove shrimp from marinade.
Cut each prosciutto slice into 4 strips. Carefully wrap one strip around each shrimp. Discard marinade.
Thread 6 shrimp on each skewer. Try to leave a little space between shrimp so air can circulate around them.
In all cooking methods use your judgment -shrimp are done when they are uniformly opaque.
To Broil: Preheat broiler. Coat a broiling pan with oil. Arrange skewers in one layer. Broil about 3 minutes per side or until shrimp are opaque.
To Air Fry: Set Air Fryer to Air Fry setting. Preheat if required. Air Fry shrimp about 5 minutes, turning over and rearranging at half way point.
Pan Fry: Cook shrimp over medium heat about 4 minutes per side.
BBQ: Grill over medium heat about 3 minutes per side.

Notes

Note 1: The prosciutto is very salty so low sodium soya sauce will help to not overpower the recipe with salt.

Note 2: You can use smaller size shrimp or a combination. If they are not large enough to skewer place shrimp loose on a grill pan or in the Air Fryer. You will need to stir and flip according to ensure even cooking.

Note 3: Use 1 slice of prosciutto per 4 shrimp if using less than 24 jumbo. You can wrap some and not others or omit prosciutto all together.
