Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine the shrimp, minced garlic, olive oil, black pepper, and salt. Toss until the shrimp are well coated. Let marinate for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Wrap the Shrimp

    Take a slice of pancetta and wrap it around each shrimp, securing it with a toothpick if necessary. Repeat until all shrimp are wrapped.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Grill the Shrimp

    Place the pancetta-wrapped shrimp on the grill. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are opaque and the pancetta is crispy.

  5. 5

    Glaze the Shrimp

    During the last minute of grilling, brush the shrimp with Italian BBQ sauce and allow it to caramelize slightly.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the grill, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
