Two of your favorite things, back together again! I thought of this one day when I remembered having once cooked a goose wrapped in bacon . . .

16-20 Very large shrimp*
8-10 slices thick bacon

- Cut the bacon strips in halves
- Wrap one bacon half around each shrimp, secure with a toothpick
- Cook in a preheated oven at 350 for half an hour.

You really need both the 16/20 sized shrimp and the thick cut bacon for even cooking. Turn shrimp over after the first 15 minutes. Next week I might try this with sea scallops - - -

*Called "16/20s" in the trade because they average between 16-20 shrimp per pound)

Friends of mine served these as finger foods at their New Year's party a few years ago...

...and they were SO yummy that I still remember how good they tasted!

Thanks for the reminder!

Hi Donald -- thanks!

Aren't you the pizza quiche guy? Man, that thing is =genius=. I made it last week and my wife is already asking when I'm going to make it again!

You DA MAN!

One of my favorite restaurants, Topeka's (haven't been since starting this WOE) makes something like this and my hubby has duplicated it...

They use a sliver of jalapeno wrapped up with the Shrimp and the bacon.... YUMMY!!
