3258.0. "Costly/Easy Stuffed Shrimp" by BAGELS::WHALEN () Wed Oct 09 1991 14:46

    This recipe was passed to me by the chef at the Steaksmith in CO
    Springs.
    
    The larger the shrimp the easier/less mess you will create in your
    kitchen.
    
    
    	1 to 2 lbs shrimp of the large variety(12-15 shrimp to lb.)
    	(peel,devaine,rinse and butterfly)
    	1/2 to 3/4 lb or prosciutto ham 
    	(cut into 2 inch strips)
    	pesto sauce
    	mild cheese
    	(grated.. i've used mild chedder only)
    	wooden skewers
    
    Drizzle a teaspoon of pesto up the center of the butterflied shrimp.
    Sprinkle the cheese atop the pesto
    Wrap/roll in the prosciutto and skewer(possibly toothpick) the package.
    
    Cook under the broiler with foil to capture the drippings(makes for easier
    cleanup), could also be done on the grill. 
    
    Watch closely as the shrimp don't take long(under 5 minutes).
    
    
    
    Enjoy~

    I know that this probably sounds really stupid, but what is Pesto?

I made this last night and it was simply wonderful!  There is 
a restaurant here in Colorado called Steak Smith.  They have
an appetizer called "Steak Smith Stuffed Shrimp".  I love to
go to this place just for this.  The only difference I can tell
since they both taste the same is that they rap their shrimp
in bacon.  Personally I like the Proscutto better!  

Thanks again, this really is awsome!
