Prosciutto Wrapped Shrimp

I’m really happy to announce that Ketofied! Comfort Foods Made Low Carb can now accept PayPal as a payment. I had a lot of people request this, so I worked over the weekend to get a new payment processor that’s trusted. I’ve finally been able to find a good one and accepts both credit card and PayPal (so people have an option). I just want to say thank you to everyone that got it, supports it, and supports the website!

Now, on to the shrimp. These suckers are the perfect blend of “fanciness”. It’s not everyday that you come across prosciutto wrapped shrimp. The shrimp themselves are absolutely divine. Bringing that salty, earthy taste from the prosciutto and the sweet and refreshing experience from the sauce. Together they are a match made in heaven. Give them a try, if you dare not eat them all!

This would be a perfect appetizer or hors d’oeuvre to serve up at a party – it looks fancy, it tastes fancy, and it doesn’t take too much work to make! Something like this would cost you around $25 in a restaurant, so why not make it yourself for under $10? Heck, that’s what I did, and I’m not even sure a restaurant could keep it as good quality as this. Plus, they’d be adding sugar to the sauce so I’d have to ask for extra napkins to wipe it off. That’s always the worst.
