Ingredients

30 (31 to 35) shrimp, peeled and deveined
15 strips bacon, partially cooked and cut in half
Vegetable oil, as needed
1 cup barbecue sauce
Equipment: Small bamboo skewers

Directions

Preheat the broiler. Wrap each shrimp with a bacon slice. Thread each shrimp on a small bamboo skewer and brush lightly with oil before broiling. Place skewers on a wire rack set into a foil-lined metal tray.

Broil the shrimp until the bacon gets crispy on all sides. Baste with barbecue sauce and broil for 2 minutes. Turn once and finish, another 3 to 6 minutes, or until shrimp are just cooked through. Serve warm.

Cook's Note: Soak the skewers in water before using to prevent them from catching fire when the shrimp are cooking.

Making for 6 years or more

I have been making these for lots of years. If I use regular bacon I partially precook it or it is not crispy enough. I often... use turdey bacon, which does not have to be precooked usually. I also often add cajun spices or cayenne to the BBQ sauce. Then we grill it outside. Really lifts the recipe. Everyone loves it, and it is embarrassing to say how easy it is when they want the recipe.Read more

This recipe was great. Easy prep. I made them for the Pats/Chargers game. started them at home and broiled at the club. ... About 25 guys were there and they loved them. I have to make them again for the Pats/Colts! Go Pats!Read more

Excellent!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is an easy recipe to follow and can be done partially ahead of time. I cooked the bacon and wrapped it around the shrimp... and put them on the kabobs and just stuck them in the refrigerator until I was ready to put them in the oven a couple of hours later. Boy! Are they great!Read more
