  • Juice of 1/2 lemon

  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Heat a grill or grill pan to medium.

Combine the EVOO, scallion whites, chili pepper and lemon juice in a medium size bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Wrap each shrimp with a slice of prosciutto and thread onto a skewer.
