Shrimp Stuffed With Prosciutto and Crab

3 Tb Olive Oil
1 Onion, finely diced
¼ C Chopped Parsley, divided
½ C Prosciutto, finely diced
1 C Cornbread crumbs
½ C Chicken Stock
1 Lb Lump Crabmeat
TT Salt Pepper
20 Shrimp, U12 size, peeled with tails on
Melted butter

Preheat oven to 400º F.

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion, half the parsley and the ham for 3 to 5 minutes until fragrant.

Combine cornbread crumbs and the chicken stock with the sautéed ham mixture in a large bowl.

Gently fold in crabmeat and remaining parsley. Season with salt and pepper.

Devein the shrimp. Butterfly the shrimp by deepening the deveining cut along the first half of the shrimps’ length (the fattest part) without cutting through.

Spread the fattest part of the shrimp flat and place the shrimp, cut side down, with the tail in the air so it resembles the tail of a scorpion. It is in this position that you will cook the shrimp.

Spoon 2 tablespoons of the stuffing onto the shrimp, placing the stuffing onto the base of the shrimp and packing it inside the curved part of the shrimp.

Perch the shrimps on a lightly buttered baking dish, maintaining the same position. Drizzle with some melted butter and bake 10 to 15 minutes.

wow, mofet, your saltimboca looks delicious. i've never seen it rolled up like cordon bleu before. that's a neat looking way to serve it.

along the same lines, you could make chicken sorrentino. bread and fry a chicken breast, top with a layer of prosciutto, a layer of floured/fried eggplant, and top with mozzarella. bake until the cheese melts, then serve with a sauce such as marsala, tomato, or even just a light brown chicken gravy.

for an appy, you could do prosciutto wrapped around honeydew melon slices, or prosciutto stuffed, honey drizzled figs.

as a side dish, you could wrap it around asparagus spears, or chop some into garlic sauteed broccoli florets.

Take one large baguette shaped roll, cut in roll in half the long way. Arrange 4=6 slices of prosciutto on bottom hal fof the roll first brush it with either soft butter or evoo top the meat with about 2 oz of thick sliced fresy mozz that youve drained on a tea towel drizzle the mozz with some evoo fresh cracked black pepper and sea salt amd 4=6 whole fresh basil leaves. now top with the rest of the roll. I like to put this in my panini maker and leave it just long enough to melt the cheese but it's great just as is.

I like 1/4 inch slices of fresh mozz, lay a slice of prosciutto on top and roll it, dip in pesto and eat! Add grape tomatos for your veggie.
