• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 pound large shrimp
• 24 nectarine or pineapple wedges

1. combine first 7 ingredients in a large bowl.

2. wrap 1 piece of prosciutto around each shrimp. thread shrimp & nectarines onto a *skewer. place skewers in a shallow dish; drizzle with 1/2 cup soy sauce mixture on both sides of shrimp.

cover & refrigerate for 30 minutes.

3. preheat grill to medium-high heat. remove skewers from marinade & grill 3 minutes on each side or until shrimp are cooked thru. serve with remaining soy sauce mixture!

*don't forget to soak wooden skewers in water for about an hour or so so they don't catch fire on the grill!
