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

Special equipment:
Small bamboo skewers- 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.

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