Grilled Shrimp With Bacon

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs fresh jumbo shrimp
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup catsup
  • 3 dashes hot pepper sauce
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 1/2 lb bacon, (or more)

Instructions

Shell and devein uncooked shrimp. In a bowl, mix next 5 ingredients. Marinate shrimp in mixture 30 minutes to 1 hour at room temp. Cut bacon into thirds or halves and wrap bacon around shrimp. Thread onto skewers. Grill until bacon is crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Turn several times and brush with reserved marinade. Bacon drippings will cause the grill to flare up, so keep the water spritzer handy. Serve at once with lemon wedges.

Notes:

I came across a file with thousands of BBQ recipes. They look at least 10 years old and most don’t have any type of credit of where they came from. If you recognize a recipe please let me know so I can give proper credit.
