Ingredients

• 12 pieces raw large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 6 slices thinly sliced prosciutto
• 6 sheets phyllo dough sheets
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Sprinkle them evenly with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper, making sure each piece is well-seasoned.

Step 3

Cut each slice of prosciutto in half lengthwise, so you have 12 strips total.

Step 4

Wrap one strip of prosciutto around each shrimp, ensuring the shrimp is fully enveloped but the tail is exposed.

Step 5

Lay out one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean, dry surface. Brush it lightly with melted butter, then fold it in half crosswise to form a rectangle.

Step 6

Place the prosciutto-wrapped shrimp at the short end of the phyllo sheet and roll it up snugly, tucking in the sides as you go to form a neat package. Brush the seam with melted butter to seal it. Repeat with remaining shrimp, prosciutto, and phyllo sheets.

Step 7

Arrange the wrapped shrimp on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down, and brush the tops with any remaining melted butter.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and crisp.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before transferring to a serving platter.

Step 10

Sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish, if desired, and serve warm.
