tried this recipes with modification and it was AWESOME! I used the large "prawn" shrimp and in the curve of the shrimp I placed a chunk of pineapple, then wrapped thin sliced bacon around and placed on skewer. The pineapple added flavor to the shrimp and provided a little moisture to keep the bacon and shrimp from drying out to fast. Tonight I am attempting to stuff shrimp with a cream cheese and then wrapping in bacon... will let you all know how that turns out!

Sometimes the most simpliest things are the best! Shrimp and bacon are one of my family's favorite things to eat so I knew this combination would be a hit with them. I just partially cook the entire package of bacon slices in the oven using, "Bacon for a Family or a Crowd," from this website. I then cut them into 1/3's and used it to wrap around the shrimp securing them with toothpicks. Cooking them in the oven was a breeze since shrimp cooks fast. After the first couple of minutes, I turned it over to cook the other side for another 3 minutes until it was done. Since I did not want a tough or rubbery shrimp, I took it out as soon as I saw the shrimp turn pink/orange in color indicating to me that it was cooked. Bacon already has so much flavor and so it adds a lot of natural seasoning to the shrimp while it bakes in the oven. I didn't even have to ask anyone if they liked the shrimp because they were all gone in a matter of seconds! I served this with, "Green Rice III," and "Carrots in Dill Butter," all from this website.

Heart-Healthy Recipe: I made this tonight with the recommendation of using garlic and butter to season the shrimp, but I did substitute the butter with 3 T. Smart Balance melted with 1 t. garlic powder for 40 large shrimp. This was a great ratio. Also I substituted low fat turkey bacon for the bacon, and as many mentioned, I did cook the bacon slightly. But seeing as how, turkey bacon crisps quickly, I made sure not to fully cook it before wrapping the shrimp. Keep it soft and mailable so as to wrap the shrimp. Then I cooked the bacon-wrapped shrimp on my George Forman, at 400 degrees for five minutes. They were delicious and perfect, not chewy or rubbery. Even my picky four-year old loved them! With these changes, these are healthy enough to eat as the main protein.

very good:) We eat turkey bacon so that's what I used and I put them on skewers so I didn't have to worry about them falling through the grill and they were easy to flip! Will definitely be making these often!

I used the precooked bacon available, and they turned out perfectly. Just keep a close eye on them so they don't burn, don't take long to cook.

We make these a lot in the summer and use pre-cooked bacon, cut in half. We also brush bar-b-que sauce on the shrimp as they are being grilled. These are a favorite appetizer and many times, we serve them as an entree.

Excellent. Try preparing the night before, adding a sliver of jalepeno (seeds removed) and put in caserole dish. Put brown sugar generously on both sides of the shrimp, then place in refrigerator overnight. In the morning, flip skewers to ensure the liquid sugar gets on both sides. Cook over grill like instructed. Not overly healthy, but incredibly tasty

I made some of these the other day, and thought they were ok, but needed a little something more, so I took some small jalapeno slices, and put those in the middle of the shrimp, THEN wrapped the bacon, and sprinkled w/ Cavendar's seasoning. I also did mine in the oven b/c we were out of propane, and we thought they were much better w/ the alterations.
