I agree with previous reviews about using store bought pesto to simplify the recipe. Also, both times I have made this it was a a huge hit and b for 2, so I halved the recipe. I omitted the roux because I didn't really want to go through the trouble and let the sauce thicken on it's own, which seemed to turn out fine. The shrimp served over linguini with this sauce is delicious! It says this is a difficult recipe but I have to disagree, it was not very challenging just a bit time consuming. It still does the trick of impressing though so I'd say its a win-win.

I loved loved loved this! However, I made it easier by using store bought pesto or fresh basil instead of making it. Also, our local seafood market makes their own delicious crab cakes. I just crumble one up to stuff in the shrimp. Saves a bunch of time and still comes out great.

This is a great recipe! As with some of the other reviewers, I felt my shrimp was done before the bacon was browned, so i pulled it out of the oven and put it in a frying pan for just a minute, rotating the wrapped shrimp until the bacon had some color. Served on a bed of arugula & mixed greens and poured the sauce on the shrimp. DH gave it a 9.5 out of 10.
Once again Paula, thank you! You definitely keep my DH coming home for more!

Huge FAN of this recipe! I make it all the time. Easy and the lemon creme sauce is so rich and adds such an incredible flavor with the bacon and shrimp/crab!
Making it as an appetizer for our christmas party!

This is wonderful.
Even if you make the basil lemon cream sauce and put it over paste, I don't think you will be disappointed.

Everything about this recipe was great. The bacon wrapped shrimp turned out good, and the Lemon Bassil Cream sauce had a very rich flavor that complimented the shrimp very well. The Pesto was great as well.

This recipe is excellent. I doubled it an served it over rice as an appetizer.... what a hard act to follow! I have prepared it several times and found if I semi-cooked the bacon first, it came out crispier. Everyone loved it!
