about 2 lb (1 kg) mussels, cleaned

5.25 oz (150 g) thinly sliced prosciutto

1/2 small bunch basil leaves

20 small wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

In a saucepan, cover the mussels with 2.5-cm (1-inch) of water. Cover and bring to a boil. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the mussels open. Remove the mussels from their shells. Discard any unopened mussels.

Cut the prosciutto into strips the same width as the mussels.

Place a basil leaf on each piece of prosciutto, then wrap around each mussel.

Thread 3 wrapped mussels on each skewer.

Preheat the broiler. Place the skewers on a baking sheet and cook for a few minutes in the highest position of the oven, just enough to warm the skewers.
