Shrimp and Prosciutto Skewers
2 lbs (900 g) large shrimp (about 30), tails on, peeled and deveined
1/2 cup (125 ml) Pernod, ouzo, or other anise-flavored liqueur
1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil
2 Tbs (30 ml) chopped fresh rosemary
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
10 paper-thin slices of prosciutto ham
Combine the shrimp, Pernod, olive oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a bowl and toss to combine well. Marinate refrigerated for 1 hour. Cut each slice of prosciutto lengthwise into three strips. Wrap a piece of prosciutto snugly around each shrimp and skewer through the head and tail, using wooden skewers or long toothpicks. Cook over hot coals or place on a baking sheet and cook under a preheated broiler until the ham is crispy and the shrimp are opaque, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Serve warm. Makes 30 skewers, to serve 6 to 8.
