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!

Another delicious bacon wrapped appetizer! I used raw shrimps and raw bacon and I didn't have any problem with cooking them. I just added a sprinkle of brown sugar beacause it was a tad bit too salty for my tastes.

After experimenting our favorite method is raw peeled & deveined shrimp with 1/2 a strip of bacon on toothpicks, grilled or broiled in the oven until the bacon is done. Do monitor them closely to prevent charred bacon. Then brush on Famous Dave's Rich & Sassy BBQ and finish off with one more minute on the grill to cook the sauce onto the bacon. Your guests will never guess it's bbq sauce.

Cut your bacon in half, wrap around "pre-cooked" shrimp (we buy ours frozen from Sam's club-Large size), sprinkle CAJUN seasoning on and grill to perfection!!! We always get rave reviews!!! And SOOOO.... EASY!!

My husband loved these! Although I did change it a little thus the 4 starts. I tossed the shrimp in a mixture of my husbands favorite seasoning salt and a little olive oil and let marinate for a couple of hours before wrapping in bacon and baking. I made these as his special treat at Christmas and he and the rest of the family are still talking about them in June!

Hubby brought up a good one . . . (rare I know - LOL) perhaps this recipe calls for RAW shrimp? Then cooking with raw bacon might work . . . time wise that is . . . we used pre-cooked shrimp and did pre-cook the bacon before wrapping - will try dipping in a garlic sauce next time to become more flavorful

Great idea, but the bacon needs to be slow cooked until edible (but flexible) before wrapping the shrimp or else the shrimp will overcook.

YUMMY!! I precooked the bacon in the microwave. I cut the strips in half and wrapped them around the shrimp, securing the bacon with a toothpick. Cooking them was a bit tricky. I had the shrimp in a throw away foil pan on the grill with loads of butter and garlic powder. I let the shrimp cook a bit in the pan then put them on the grill for a few minutes. I had to be careful that the shrimp was cooked through under the bacon, but didn't want them to over cook. It is a dish you need time to focus on.

I did not read the reviews before trying this out. In hindsight, yes, I think if the bacon was precooked a bit, it might be nice (I hate rubbery bacon, ew) But, I did cook it according to the directions, and if you use a thin-sliced bacon, on a hot grill, it did turn out wonderful and they were all gobbled up at my barbeque. ALSO- I did not use full slices of bacon, I cut them in half! But make sure they fit around the size of shrimp you use before cutting them all, you don't want to cut them too short and waste with the bacon not fitting! Very popular and I will definitely make again! I also tossed the shrimp with some terriaki sauce and marinaded 1/2 hour beforehand.

Try proscuitto! However, if you use bacon, cook it until the fat is rendered before wrapping the shrimp. This recipe does not work as written. Read and heed the comments!

Great recipe. The only thing I do differently is marinate the shrimp in italian dressing before you wrap them with bacon. I cook them on the George Foreman grill and if you get it hot before you put them on - it only takes about 3 or 4 minutes for these to be done. This is one of my favorite meals and a favorite of the family too!!

Good stuff. I did marinate the shrimp in a garlic basil butter and then wrap the shrimp. I also partically cooked the bacon. (Good thing because it was barely done when the shrimp was cooked.) You don't want to overcook shrimp because it becomes rubbery. Thanks for the recipe idea.

This is a great recipe. For an extra zing try cutting the back of the shrimp and inserting some horseradish. Then wrap in bacon and cook in garlic butter on the grill in aluminum pie plate. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is imperative that you partially cook the bacon before wrapping the shrimp to cook. The bacon will not be done. If you cook the bacon until done, the shrimp are WAY over cooked. I sprinkled my favorite seasonings over the shrimp before I wrapped and grilled them then served them with melted butter. I gave this only 3 stars because the recipe as written, as I stated, over cooks the shrimp. I used jumbo shrimp and they were large enough for a whole strip of partially cooked bacon. When the shrimp were done, the bacon was grilled to perfection.

Absolutely awesome appetizer! I served these for New Years' Eve, and everyone loved them! I chose to cook them under the broiler in my oven instead of grilling. To prevent burning the bacon or drying out the shrimps, I placed them as far below the broiler as the oven would allow. This allowed the bacon to cook thoroughly...I turned them a couple of times, too. Wonderful! I can't wait to make them again.

It's important that you partially pre-cook the bacon before grilling. Very tasty and easy to make, but next time I think I'll marinate the shrimp in a lemon/tequila mixture first for a little added flavor.
