Garlic Lime Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp

garlic-lime-bacon-wrapped-shrimpINGREDIENTS:

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 10 cooked medium shrimp, shelled and deveined
  • 5 slices peppered bacon, cut in half
  • 1 (4 ounce) can whole green chili peppers, drained, and sliced lengthwise
  • 1 avocado – peeled, pitted and diced (optional)
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Whisk together the oil, lime juice, garlic, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Toss the shrimp in the marinade, then refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  2. Preheat an indoor electric grill for medium-high heat.
  3. Remove the shrimp from the marinade, and shake off excess. Wrap each shrimp with a strip of chili pepper, then half a bacon slice. Secure with a toothpick. Repeat with remaining shrimp. Cook on preheated grill until the bacon is crisp, and the shrimp is hot, 6 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle the shrimp with diced avocado, and garnish with lime wedges to serve.

Chipotle Lime Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp

bacon-wrapped-shrimpINGREDIENTS:

  • 12 large, raw, peeled and deveined shrimp
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • Zest from 1 lime
  • Juice from one lime (about 2 Tbsp)
  • 1/4 teaspoon chipotle powder (or more to taste)
  • 6 strips thin bacon, cut in half (12 pieces)
  • Skewers (for grilling) or toothpicks (for oven)

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Mix together in a small bowl the lime zest, lime juice, olive oil, and chipotle powder. Put the shrimp in the lime chipotle mixture; make sure each piece is well coated.
  2. Spread the bacon pieces out over several layers of paper towels on a microwave-safe plate. Cover with another layer of paper towel. Microwave on high until the bacon fat begins to melt but the bacon is still pliable, about 1 1/2 minutes.
  3. Prepare grill on high, direct heat (if grilling) or preheat the oven to 450°F.
  4. Working one at a time, wrap a half piece of microwaved bacon around each piece of shrimp. If you are grilling, thread the shrimp onto long, flat skewers (flat skewers make turning the shrimp on the grill easier). If you don’t have flat skewers, I’ve used two thin bamboo skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes beforehand) to the same effect. If you are using the oven, secure each the bacon onto the shrimp with toothpicks. Place the bacon-wrapped shrimp on a slotted baking pan (lined with foil inside for easy cleaning). Brush remaining lime chipotle mixture on the outside of the bacon-wrapped shrimp.
  5. Grill uncovered for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or bake in the oven for 10-14 minutes, until shrimp is pink and the bacon is crisp.
