Prosciutto Wrapped Shrimp and Apples

Honestly, I was a little timid to try this recipe.  I'm new to the world of shrimp, I didn't know what prosciutto was, and savory seasoning over apples just didn't sound like it would be good. O.M.G. I was SO surprised.  It's a definite must try recipe if you like shrimp and apples.

1lb large or colossal shrimp, shelled and deveined but with tails 

4 thin slices of prosciutto, cut into strips

2 granny smith apples

2T maple flavored syrup

2T Bourbon or orange juice

2T Dijon Mustard

1T teriyaki sauce (I used reduced sodium)

1/2tsp ground black pepper

Wrap each shrimp in a slice of prosciutto. Core and cut apples into wedges. Put shrimp and apples on skewers, alternating each.

Mix together remaining ingredients and brush over shrimp and apples. Cook on grill over medium heat until shrimp is opaque. Enjoy!

Vinaigrette Steak Sandwich

This is super yummy!  I was a little skeptical at first because Mayo and Italian Dressing don't go together in my head, but it was soooo good. Enjoy!

Marinade the steak in Italian Vinaigrette for a couple hours. Mix 1T Italian Vinaigrette with mayo; cover and chill.

Cook steak and onion in oil over medium heat until meat is browned. Assemble sandwich with mayo, spinach, pepperoncinis, cheese, and meat. Enjoy!
