Instructions
-
Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, teriyaki marinade, white pepper, cayenne pepper, and salt. Stir well to mix all the flavors together.
-
Marinate the Shrimp: Place the peeled and deveined shrimp into a plastic bag and set the bag in a shallow pan. Pour the marinade over the shrimp, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag and let the shrimp marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This allows the flavors to penetrate the shrimp thoroughly.
-
Preheat the Grill: While the shrimp are marinating, preheat your grill to medium heat.
-
Prepare the Bacon: Cut each bacon slice into thirds. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon pieces in batches, about 3 to 5 minutes per batch, or until the bacon starts to brown around the edges. Turn the bacon pieces occasionally to ensure even cooking. Once browned, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess grease.
-
Drain the Shrimp: After marinating, remove the shrimp from the bag and discard the marinade.
-
Wrap the Shrimp: Take each shrimp and wrap it with a piece of the pre-cooked bacon. Secure the bacon in place by threading the bacon-wrapped shrimp onto 8 small metal skewers.
-
Grill the Shrimp: Place the skewers on the grill rack directly over medium-hot coals. Grill the shrimp for about 8 to 10 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the shrimp turn opaque and the bacon is crispy.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and serve the bacon-wrapped shrimp hot. They make an excellent appetizer or party snack that will be enjoyed by all.
Enjoy these delectable bacon-wrapped shrimp at your next barbecue or gathering, and watch them disappear in no time! 🌟🔥🍤
