Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon zest
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
30 large raw shrimp, peeled (about 1 pound)
10 deli ham slices, thinly sliced
30 pimento-stuffed Spanish olives

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the first five ingredients. Add shrimp and toss to coat. Cover and chill for 30 minutes.
Preheat broiler with oven rack 5½ inches from heat. Cut each ham slice into three lengthwise strips. Wrap each strip around one shrimp and one olive, secure with a wooden toothpick. Place wrapped shrimp on a large, lightly greased baking sheet. Repeat process with remaining ham, shrimp and olives. Broil 3 minutes on each side or until each shrimp turns pink. Arrange appetizers on a serving platter and serve hot. These can be made ahead and refrigerated, then broiled just before serving. Yields 30 appetizers
