Recipe for Glazed bacon-wrapped grilled shrimp
Serves 4 as an appetizer
Microwaving the bacon before wrapping the strips around the shrimp lets both ingredients grill quickly without overcooking. If you don’t have agave nectar, use honey with delicious results.
8to 10 slices of bacon1pound large shrimp (16 to 20 per pound)2tablespoons agave nectar or honey1½teaspoon crushed red pepper1tablespoon waterSalt, to taste
1. Slice each piece of bacon in half and place on paper towels. Set on a plate. Microwave for 30 seconds. Wrap each shrimp with a piece of bacon; secure with toothpicks.
2. In a bowl, combine the agave nectar or honey, red pepper, water, and salt.
3. Light a charcoal grill or turn a gas grill to high.
4. Cook the shrimp for 2 minutes until bacon is crisp on the undersides. Turn and cook for 2 minutes. Brush with the glaze and continue cooking for 30 seconds on a side or until the glaze begins to char. Sydney Oland
