Ingredients

  • 24 peeled and deveined cooked shrimp (16-20 per pound)
  • 5 tablespoons lime juice
  • MANGO SALSA:
  • 2 medium ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped
  • 3/4 cup cubed fresh pineapple
  • 3/4 cup chopped peeled papaya
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped sweet red pepper
  • 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 24 thin slices cantaloupe
  • 12 thin slices prosciutto, halved lengthwise

  1. Place shrimp and lime juice in a large shallow bowl. Refrigerate, covered, while making salsa, turning once. In a large bowl, combine mangoes, pineapple, papaya, red onion, red pepper, jalapenos, cilantro and lime juice. Refrigerate, covered, until serving.
  2. Drain shrimp, discarding lime juice. Place 1 cantaloupe slice on each prosciutto slice; top each with 1 shrimp. Fold both sides of prosciutto around shimp and melon. If desired, secure with toothpicks. Serve with mango salsa.
Peppers (Hot)
Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
