I live in a houseful of shrimp haters. What is WITH that? Don't
these people know what they're missing???? I think I could eat it every
day and not tire of it. So even though these weird-o's that I live with
won't touch it, that doesn't stop me from cooking it! Nope...not me! I
cooked it and ate it ALL! The nice thing about this is that you can make
a little or a lot. These would be great appetizers or if you're in the
mood for just a little somethin-somethin...then these would be great!
Throw a little pasta on the side and you got yourself a meal!!
Bacon Wrapped Shrimp
Colossal Raw Shrimp - deveined and tails removed
Bacon- cut in half
Cajun Seasoning - 1 teaspoon per 6 - 8 shrimp, adjust to your taste
Decide how many shrimp you're going to need. Rinse and pat dry.
Soak toothpicks in water for about 15 minutes or so.
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cajun seasoning over the shrimp and let it hang out for a while.
Cook your bacon until the edges are curly but not cooked all the way through. I put my half pieces on a plate and cooked them in the microwave for about 90 seconds. Just long enough to start to cook them but not all the way. Pat the grease off with a paper towel.
Spray a grill pan with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
Wrap the partially cooked bacon around a shrimp and secure with a toothpick. I started at the side of a shrimp and poked the toothpick through to the other side so I could flip the shrimp without the toothpick getting in the way.
If you're cooking a larger quantity and want to, you can also put these on a cookie sheet and bake them on 375 for about 10 minutes...turning once...or until the shrimp are pink and the bacon is done to your liking.
I grilled mine for about 3 - 4 minutes per side to ensure everything was cooked through.
I ate mine with barbecue sauce and they were phenomenal!!!!

Here's all you need.
Soak your toothpicks for a few minutes.
Season your shrimp. You could also use bbq
seasoning if you're not a fan of the cajun kick.
Use half the amount of bacon as shrimp
then cut the pieces in half to equal the shrimp.
Partially cook your bacon. I did mine in the microwave.
Then wrap the bacon around the shrimp.
I started wrapping at the side of the
shrimp so the toothpick would lie flat.
Grill 'em up, baby!!!
Serve and eat!! I'm not kidding...these are outstanding!!!!!
