Grilled Fig and Prosciutto Skewers
These skewers are the perfect summer appetizer. The grilled figs are sweet and juicy, and the salty prosciutto adds a nice contrast. They're also easy to make, so you can whip them up in no time.
I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a way to use up some fresh figs. I had been grilling a lot of meat that summer, and I thought it would be fun to try something different. I decided to wrap the figs in prosciutto and grill them, and they were a hit! My friends and family loved them, and I've been making them ever since.
