Prosciutto-Wrapped Asparagus

Ingredients:

  • Asparagus (pencil thin)
  • Proscuitto
  • Olive oil
  • McCormick® Peppercorn Medley
  • Kulp Spices' Organic Garlic Seasoning Salt


Directions:

Snap ends off of asparagus.  Line up the asparagus on an aluminum backing pan/sheet and drizzle olive oil over them.  Season to taste.  Roll asparagus back and forth with your fingers to coat them thoroughly.  Move asparagus to a plate.  Cut proscuitto slices in half length wise and spiral wrap from one end of the asparagus to another.

Place in an aluminum pan and broil on high for 3 minutes.  Turn the asparagus.  Broil an additional 3 minutes.  Frankly, the crispier the better.


Myrtle's Note:  I prefer pencil thin asparagus, so I split the prosciutto slices so as to balance the ratio between the two main ingredients.  Since this was served as an appetizer whilst waiting on a feast, I played around with presentation before taking the photo.  Definitely, these could have been crispier, but they were still tasty.
