Grilled Bacon Wrapped Shrimp
Description
"Jumbo shrimp or prawns wrapped in bacon with zesty spices! This is a very good meal or appetizer."
Ingredients
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cumin
- 1⁄2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon citrus lemon pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 9 slices bacon
- 18 prawns
- 18 wooden skewers, soaked in water for at least 15 min
Directions
- Combine butter and spices, add shrimp, stirring to coat the shrimp. Let shrimp marinate for 1 to 2 hours.
- Slice bacon in half and cook over medium high heat to render out some fat, keeping bacon flexible. Drain the bacon and pat grease out with a paper towel.
- Wrap each piece of shrimp with a piece of bacon. Slide on to skewers. If you use wooden skewers, the skewers need to be soaked in water for about 15 minute in water or use metal ones.
- Grill on a hot grill until shrimp are opaque. Use remainder of marinade when turning the shrimp.
