Ingredients
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1 tablespoon Worchestershire sauce (I suggest to use Lea & Perrins)
- 2 tablespoon.fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 9 slices bacon (use a good quality bacon)
- 18 jumbo shrimp, shelled and deveined
How to Make
-
Step 1: Cut the slices of bacon in half. Partially cook the bacon over moderate heat to render some of the fat without allowing the pieces to crisp.
-
Step 2: Combine butter with spices, add shrimp, toss well to coat, let marinate at room temperature for 45 minutes to 1 hour (NO MORE THAN 1 HOUR, the acid in the lemon will make the shrimp white and tough).
-
Step 3: Remove shrimp from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Wrap a slice of bacon around each shrimp and secure with a toothpick to hold both ends of the bacon.
-
Step 4: Place shrimp on hot grill for 4 minutes; turn and brush shrimp with reserved marinade and grill for 4 minutes longer or until shrimp are opaque throughout.
