Grilled Prosciutto Wrapped Shrimp

Last night we hosted a party for my Eastside Dental Study Club. This was a Pizza Party at heart, but we also had several tasty appetisers. These Grilled Prosciutto Wrapped Shrimp are relatively easy to make and are definitely a crowd favorite. I made a double batch; plated them and the sauce on a platter for easy passing amongst our guests.
