Prosciutto-Wrapped Shrimp with Orange Marmalade


Ingredients
1/4 cup orange marmalade
4 teaspoons soy sauce
4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1 large garlic clove, minced
2 scallions, finely chopped
1 pound of shrimp, deveined
12 thin slices of prosciutto (about 4 ounces)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

In a bowl, mix the marmalade, soy sauce, lemon juice, ginger, garlic and scallions. Add the shrimp and toss to coat.  Let marinate 1-2 hrs.

Once marinated, lay a slice of prosciutto on a work surface and fold it in half lengthwise. Wrap the prosciutto around the middle third of 1 of the shrimp. Repeat with the remaining shrimp and prosciutto. 

In a large skillet, heat the oil until shimmering. Add the shrimp and cook over moderate heat, turning once or twice, until golden and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate and serve warm or at room temperature.
