Original Recipe Yield 10 shrimp
 

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 10 cooked medium shrimp, shelled and deveined
  • 5 slices peppered bacon, cut in half
  • 1 (4 ounce) can whole green chili peppers, drained, and sliced lengthwise
  • 1 avocado - peeled, pitted and diced (optional)
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges (optional)

Directions

  1. Whisk together the oil, lime juice, garlic, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Toss the shrimp in the marinade, then refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  2. Preheat an indoor electric grill for medium-high heat.
  3. Remove the shrimp from the marinade, and shake off excess. Wrap each shrimp with a strip of chili pepper, then half a bacon slice. Secure with a toothpick. Repeat with remaining shrimp. Cook on preheated grill until the bacon is crisp, and the shrimp is hot, 6 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle the shrimp with diced avocado, and garnish with lime wedges to serve.
