Ingredients

Avocado Crema

Instructions

  1. If you buy whole shrimp remove the heads, peal the shrimp, and remove the back vein.
  2. In a small bowl mix the shrimp together with the tequila, lime juice, coriander, red chili pepper, and cilantro.  Set the shrimp and let them marinade for about 20-30 minutes.  (During this time make the avocado creme, recipe below.)
  3. Halve each of the pieces of the prosciutto longways and wrap each of the shrimp with one prosciutto half. 
  4. Skewer 4 shrimp onto a skewer.  Repeat until you have skewered all the shrimp.
  5. Heat your grill to high heat.  (I get my charcoal grill to about 400F.)
  6. Place the shrimp skewers onto the grill directly over the heat source and cook for about 10 minutes.  Flipping the skewers every couple of minutes.  Once the shrimp are firm and the prosciutto has become crispy they are done.

Avocado Crema

  1. Blister the jalapeño.  This can be done over an open flame such as a gas stovetop, grill, or in the oven.
  2. Slice the jalapeño in half and remove the seeds.
  3. In a food processor mix together all of the ingredients until smooth.
  4. It's as simple as that.  Enjoy!

Notes

You can make this recipe on the stove in a pan (preferably cast iron) over medium high heat.  There's no need to skewer the shrimp to cook them in a pan.
