Smoky Grilled Shrimp

This looks like an easy quick appetizer that will be enjoyed by all.
 Hopefully they will taste as scrumptious as they sound!

1 pound bacon strips
1-1/4 cups honey Dijon salad dressing
4 tsp. prepared horseradish
1 garlic clove
1 pound uncooked large shrimp, peeled & deveined

  • Cut bacon strips in half lengthwise.  In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until partially cooked but not crisp.  Remove to paper towel to drain.
  • In a small bowl, combing the salad dressing, horseradish and garlic; set aside ¾ cup.  Brush remaining mixture over both sides of shrimp.  Wrap a piece of bacon around each shrimp; thread onto four metal or soaked wooden skewers.
  • Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil.  Using long –handled tongs, lightly coat the grill rack. Grill shrimp, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 5 – 8 minutes or until shrimp turn pink, turning once. Serve with reserved sauce.
Tupps Tidbits ~ to save time, you could cook the bacon the day before

The shrimp grilled up wonderfully and we both thoroughly enjoy this dish. We did use an indoor electric grill , but we both felt that if we would have used the outdoor grill the bacon probably would have been crispier.  The reserved sauce was wonderful for dipping.  This recipe is a KEEPER in our house.
