Method
Step 1
If you are not using metal skewers but use bamboo skewers, you will have them submerged in water for a couple of hours so they will not burn when grilling.
Step 2
Combine tequila, olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, chopped basil, and pepper, and pour the shrimp into a shallow bowl to cover them.
Step 3
Marinade in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. If the marinated do not cover them fully, turn the shrimps once.
Step 4
Remove the shrimp from the marinade and reserve the marinade.
Step 5
Wrap the middle of each shrimp first with a leave of basil and then with the prosciutto—thread 4 shrimps lengthwise on each of 6 metal skewers.
Step 6
On the stove heat up a grilling plate over high heat.
Step 7
Grill the shrimp basting with the marinade for several minutes on each side. Serve immediately.
