    This Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus is a elegant appetizer but not too fussy!

     
    Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus

       
    Today I have a quick, easy and impressive appetizer for you.  As I mentioned yesterday, we celebrated the DIY Guy's birthday this past Sunday.  I made some of his favorites foods and tried some new ones - this happens to be something new (not old, borrowed or blue!).

    For this recipe you will need:

    - a bunch of asparagus, washed
    - thinly sliced prosciutto sliced in half lengthwise (Trader Joe's sells a package with 8 slices)
    - olive oil

    That's it!  Cut off about an inch from the bottom of asparagus.  Place the asparagus at a 45 degree angle on the prosciutto and wind up to the top (leave the tops exposed as pictured).  One package made 16 spears.   Brush about 1 ½ tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet and heat over medium high until the pan is hot (but not smoking).   Place the spears in the pan and brown until crispy on all sides.  Drain a bit on paper towels.

    These were really good but just to warn you they are a bit on the salty side due to the prosciutto.  I'm thinking these would be good with some sort of dipping sauce.... maybe something horseradish based.  I'll try that next time.

      I make this too and sprinkle it with cracked black pepper - it is a great appetizer to take on a picnic 🙂

      I love this recipe, Deb! Do you have a trick to peeling the prosciutto off in one piece? Mine almost always rips to shred every time I use prosciutto!

      I shared this one on Amazing Recipes last week-- asparagus rivals Brussels sprouts for my favorite veggies. This is a super gorgeous side dish!!!
