BBQ bacon shrimp

Our friend Juanita gave us the idea for these and man was it a good idea.

These are amazing and so simple to do. You'll never have leftovers.

I was thinking of doing scallops as well, but oddly enough our butcher was sold out of them. Maybe next time.

Ingredients:
-1lb jumbo cooked shrimp
-1lb (or box) of bacon
-1 cup of Famous Dave's Sweet &Sassy sauce


*If you are using wooden skewers make sure to soak them for at least 15 minutes.*

Cut the tails off the shrimp - Cut the bacon into pieces. 3 maybe 4 pieces each slice - Take a shrimp and wrap the bacon around it, then place on skewer - Repeat until all shrimp have been used - I don't put more then 6 on a skewer - Put all the skewers into a jumbo sized Ziploc bag and pour in sauce - Let marinate for 30 minutes.

Cook on grill. We cooked it for about 18 minutes on a medium low heat. Grills vary so just watch for the bacon to turn a little bit crispy.

*NOTE* When the grease drips it will cause flames to shoot up. Not major, but make sure your grill is in a good location. We use a grill pan that has the small holes and lines. Takes a little bit longer (18 minutes) to cook but you'll have less grease dripping on the flame.
