Prosciutto-Wrapped Shrimp with Lemon Couscous

The sweet maple syrup and salty prosciutto contrast well with the lemony flavor of the couscous.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 6 shrimp and 1/2 cup couscous)

Ingredients

• 3  tablespoons  maple syrup
• 2  tablespoons  bourbon
• 1  tablespoon  teriyaki sauce
• 2  teaspoons  Dijon mustard
• 1/2  teaspoon  chili powder
• 24  jumbo shrimp (about 1 1/2 pounds)
• 6  very thin slices prosciutto or ham (about 3 1/2 ounces)
• Cooking spray
• Lemon Couscous

Preparation

Preheat broiler.

Combine the first 5 ingredients in a bowl, and stir with a whisk. Peel the shrimp, leaving tails intact. Add the shrimp to maple mixture, tossing to coat. Remove shrimp from bowl, and discard the marinade. Cut each prosciutto slice lengthwise into 4 strips. Wrap 1 prosciutto strip around each shrimp. Thread shrimp onto 4 (8-inch) skewers. Place skewers on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray, and broil for 3 minutes on each side or until done. Serve shrimp over Lemon Couscous.
