Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds large raw shrimp, peeled
1 pound bacon
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cups Zesty Italian dressing
Wooden skewers
Directions:
Soak skewers in water for at least a few hours. Cut bacon strips in half. Wrap a half piece of bacon around each shrimp. Slide a few shrimp on each skewer. Place skewers in a shallow dish. Sprinkle brown sugar over the top. Pour dressing over the top. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. Preheat the grill. Grill skewers for a few minutes on each side until shrimp turns pink and bacon gets crisp.
I tried this shrimp recipe today, and the bacon did not get all crispy by the time the shrimp were cooked. I used thick bacon, was that a no-no? The taste of the dressing and bacon were in the shrimp, yummy, but the bacon was not done all crispy. Any suggestions?
Hi Darlene. Next time try using regular, not thick cut bacon and make sure to use large or jumbo shrimp. Grill over direct heat until bacon gets crisp and shrimp turns pink.
