Serving Suggestions:

Ingredients:
2 pounds jumbo shrimp (20 to 25)
1/4 pound prosciutto (thinly sliced)
1/4 pound provolone (thinly sliced) (I use sharp)
1 oz. grated Romano cheese
1/2 cup butter
4 large garlic cloves (pressed), or less to taste
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/4 tsp. seasoned pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
1 tbs. lemon juice
Fresh parsley and lemon wedges as garnish

Instructions:
1. Clean and peel shrimp. Sprinkle 1/4 tsp. of Romano cheese over each shrimp. Wrap shrimp in a slice of provolone and then prosciutto. Place in a broiling pan or individual ramekin, sprinkle with remaining Romano. Melt butter. Add garlic, oregano, pepper, chopped parsley and lemon juice. Pour over shrimp. Broil 7 or 8 inches from the heat for 8 to 10 minutes, or until pink and starting to smoke. Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges.
