The ingredients for Prosciutto Wrapped Tequila Lime Shrimp are:

12 extra EXTRA large shrimp, deveined and split down the back (enough room to shove jalapeno sliver in)
2 Jalapenos, julienned ( 12 long thin strips)
12 - 1/2 inch wide strips Prosciutto or Thinly sliced bacon
4 Tbls Butter
2 garlic cloves, pressed or finely chopped
2 Tbls Tequila
1/2 Lime, Juiced
Toothpicks

Here is how you make Prosciutto Wrapped Tequila Lime Shrimp:

Take each shrimp and put a jalapeno strip into back slit. Wrap entire shrimp in prosciutto (this should help hold the jalapeno in place), secure with toothpick. Sometimes it's a little tricky because the jalapeno strip is firm, manhandle it! :-) Melt butter, add garlic, tequila and lime juice. Grill or broil the wrapped shrimp until prosciutto is nicely browned and shrimp is cooked, basting the shrimp with the melted butter mixture throughout the cooking process. Remove toothpicks and rub a dub dub it's time for some grub! Number of Servings: 12Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user SPOTLI.
