INGREDIENTS
8 sl Bacon
16 Jumbo Raw Shrimp

Soak 8 10inchlong bamboo skewers in hot water to cover for about 30
minutes. Meanwhile, in a wide frying pan, cook the bacon over medium heat
until some of the fat has cooked out and the bacon begins to brown, (3 to 4
minutes. The bacon should NOT be crisp). Drain, then cut each slice in
half, lengthwise. Shell Shrimp (leaving the tails on) and devein. Wrap a
bacon halfslice around each shrimp. Thread the shrimp on a pair of skewers
(4 Shrimp Per Pair Of Skewers. Thread so that the head of one is against
the tail of the other and so that it holds the bacon slice on for
grilling). Place the skewered shrimp on the rack of a broiler pan and
broil, about 4inches below the heat, turning once, until the bacon is
golden brown and the shrimp are just opaque in the center, cutting to test,
