How To Make bacon wrapped shrimp

  • 1
    Kabob 6 to10 shrimp per stick, with cuts of onion between each shrimp. Season with your favorite seasoning. Lightly sprinkle with red pepper. Squeeze half of a lime over shrimp. Brush with Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Wrap each kabob with bacon strips using tooth picks.
  • 2
    Prepare grill with some apple wood chips. Once grill is good and hot, cook the kabobs with a watchful eye. The grease from the bacon can cause flames to flash, so cook with a babysitting mindset. Turning constantly so as not to burn the bacon.
  • 3
    Lightly coat each kabob with your favorite barbecue sauce. Once the bacon is done, this guarantees perfectly cooked shrimp. Serve with some long grain wild rice, a nice salad and your favorite grilled veggies.
