Chili Bacon Wrapped Shrimp Food

BACON-WRAPPED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Position a rack 3 to 4 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler. Whisk the lemon juice, garlic, paprika, thyme, olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a shallow baking dish. Add the shrimp and toss to coat; marinate in the refrigerator, 20 minutes.
• Turn the shrimp in the marinade to coat well. One at a time, remove each shrimp and wrap with a piece of bacon; secure with a toothpick if desired. Place seam-side down on a baking sheet. Spoon any remaining marinade over the shrimp. Broil, turning the shrimp once, until the bacon is slightly crisp and the shrimp are cooked through, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. In a bowl, stir together the chopped orange, chile, scallions, cilantro, olive oil, and salt and pepper.
• Wrap each shrimp in a section of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Put the shrimp on a baking sheet and broil, turning once, until the bacon is crisp and the shrimp is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes each side. To serve, lay a lettuce leaf on the cutting board. Remove the toothpick from 1 of the cooked shrimp and center the shrimp on the lettuce leaf. Spoon a little of the citrus sauce on top, wrap it all up in the lettuce like a burrito, and put it seam-side down on a plate. Keep going in the same way to wrap all of the shrimp. Serve hot.

CHILI BACON WRAPPED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Pre-cook bacon on one side on baking sheet at 325 degree F. for 5 minutes then drain on paper towels (No need to pre-cook prosciutto). Wrap each peeled and deveined shrimp with half slice of bacon or prosciutto by working from head to tail. Secure in place with picks or skewer. Generously coat each shrimp with chili sauce. Grill on high for 3 minutes per side until shrimp is pink and curled, and bacon is crisp. Re-Coat shrimp as desired and serve with lemon wedges.
• Optional: Bake in advance! Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place shrimp on baking sheet. Bake 10 to 14 minutes, turning once. Wrap in foil to transport, don't lose the juice, it's the best part!
