I use thinner bacon and stretched it a bit so I never had a problem with the shrimp being overdone. Also I spread a little horseradish on the bacon before wrapping it for a little kick. Instead of toothpicks I used scewers so to turn all at once. When almost done brush a little Bulls Eye BBQ Sauce on. Tastes awesome.

I microwaved the bacon, then I combined the drippings from the bacon with butter & garlic. I used it to baste the bacon wrapped shrimp while it cooked on the grill. I also seasoned the shrimp with seasoning salt. It came out great !

We make this all the time, never had to precook the bacon. My boyfriend likes to boil the shrimp until it's pink, but I think it would be better not to. Anyway wonderful flavor!!

I just made this. I used pre-cooked jumbo shrimp and pre-cooked oscar meyer bacon. I melted a stick of butter, and dipped the shrimp in the butter before wrapping with an entire piece of bacon. I then placed them on a tinfoil lined baking sheet, and baked at 375 for about 6 minutes. Very good!

Fantastic! I broiled the bacon on LO for exactly 3.5 minutes until the edges just started to curl. Then, after wrapping the shrimp with the bacon and basting on bbq sauce, I grilled them on one of those nifty flat thingies with the holes that goes on the grill (I believe that's the technical term: nifty flat thingies with the holes). I made 100 for a birthday party. They were gone in 5 minutes.

this is a good recipe. I would def. say to cook the bacon a little before hand or buy thin sliced. i usually buy thin sliced and wrap only enough around to cover a large shrimp, somewhere around 1/3 to 1/2 of a piece. i usually wrap it like a burrito though it holds moisture in better on the shrimp. also when they are almost done, i love putting a honey brown sugar bar b que sauce on them, they are so great!

Very good! I cut the bacon slices in half and precooked them til the fat rendered. I marinated the shrimp in Italian dressing, and then brushed it with a light coating of bbq sauce before wrapping the bacon around it. I cooked it on my cast iron stove-top grill. Hubby & the kids loved it!

Delicious and easy. I prepared this with COLOSSAL SIZE SHRIMP, WRAPPED BACON TWICE around each shrimp, and GRILLED UNTIL BACON WAS DONE (FLIP 2-4 times). I served with side of lemon wedges and a side of cocktail sauce Everyone loved them. (The colossal shrimp are not cheap but they're HUGE, I buy them on sale).

These were definitely a hit at our house. I used medium sized raw shrimp and raw bacon...cut each slice of bacon in half. Had no problem with the bacon cooking up...it was perfect. I also sprinkled them with some garlic powder and brushed both sides with some BBQ sauce before grilling. Excellent!

For an extra kick, try butterflying the shrimp & stuffing it with a piece of jalapeno pepper & a piece of monterey jack cheese then wrap it with the bacon.Very tasty!

To help this recipe marinate the shrimp with some Italian dressing. This recipe is great for BBQ parties. Pair this with grilled veggies marinated in Italian Dressing.

Ohhh...these are so good! They are especially awesome when dipped in a sweet sauce. We like a sweet BBQ or honey mustard. Wonderful!

Very flavorful. I did marinate my shrimp in bbq sauce with a sprinkle of brown sugar, for about 2 hrs prior to grilling. I used 1/2 slice of bacon per shrimp. I used raw shrimp and raw bacon and didnt have problems with the bacon not cooking. The shrimp was done when the bacon was crisp. I basted with more bbq sauce and it was so good!

Oh my gosh, I will never order grilled shrimp from out again because these turned out awesome!!! They took much longer to cook then the recipe stated, but when the bacon was done the shrimp was done too. Oh yeah, make sure you watch them because the bacon grease will easily catch fire.

If I don't have time to marinate shrimp, this is the next best thing! Tip: cut bacon slices in half, trim the excess fat, then wrap each shrimp in a half slice of bacon (this will help you get crispier bacon without having to precook it). Also, we always brush the shrimp with barbeque sauce (Sweet Baby Ray's) while they are on the grill. Gives them just a hint of something special!

My son asked me to make shrimp wrapped with bacon for his birthday dinner last week, so I started looking for recipes. This one caught my eye because they're cooked on the grill rather than in the broiler. They were delicious! I rated them 4 stars instead of 5 though because I added a sauce that sent them over the top. And to be honest, I think they may have been a little bland on their own. I used jumbo shrimp and wrapped them in 1/2 strip of bacon. Did not pre-cook bacon and had no problem with bacon not cooking enough or shrimp being over cooked. Right before we removed them from grill, we put them on a grill griddle and poured a sauce of 1 part barbecue sauce to 1 part maple syrup. We basically just left them on the grill long enough to heat up the sauce and removed them to a serving plate. Wow!!!! I used 2 lbs. of shrimp and 1 lb. of bacon to feed 4 (we had side dishes too).

This is great last minute recipe. I have never had the problem about pre-cooking the bacon and I use a whole slice... Also I just put a dash of Cajun seasoning on as I go along. A wonderful side dish or appetizer!

As written the recipe is a little lacking. I marinated the shrimp along the lines of the Grilled Marinated Shrimp recipe on this site (seasoning salt, oregano, lemon juice, olive oil, etc.), then I used very thin bacon and cut that in half. I placed these on a baking sheet and sprinkled a little bit of light brown sugar over the top and broiled. Hubby loved these! If the bacon was thicker I would have had to pre-cook it. This is a great recipe to tinker with. Thanks for the post!
