INGREDIENTS 1 ripe cantaloupe or honeydew melon About 3/4 pound very thinly sliced Prosciutto de Parma Bamboo skewers Freshly squeezed lime juice Cut the ends off the melon and stand it on end. Remove the rind in several wide strips by running a knife, between the rind and flesh, in smooth strokes. Halve the melon lengthwise and, using a spoon, scoop out and discard the seeds. Cut each half lengthwise into 3/4-inch wide wedges; cut the wedges crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Cut the prosciutto into 1-inch-wide strips about 2 to 3 inches long. Wrap each melon piece with a prosciutto strip and spear with the end of a skewer. Squeeze a little fresh lime juice over and serve.
