  • 1 tsp sweet smoked paprika (Pimentón de La Vera)
  • Sea salt and pepper, to taste

Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails on. Mix salt, pepper, pimentón de La Vera and olive oil, add the shrimp and toss to coat.

Wrap each shrimp with a piece of jamón about two inches long, and skewer the shrimp so the ham is held securely around the shrimp. Place the skewers over a high temperature grill and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are opaque and the jamón is crispy at the edges. Serve immediately.
