This is incredible but not very heart healthy. Makes for a great cook-out though.

Excellent recipe! And yes, so easy to fix. I did partially pre-cook the bacon so it would be done by the time the shrimp was cooked. We loved the combination of flavors and the lemon/butter sauce just put it over the top. Definitely a keeper for me.

    EXCELLENT! What a fine way to raise our spirits on an otherwise dank and overcast November Sunday. I fired up the large hibachi on the patio table and when all was ready I brought it inside to the table. I repeatedly assured my guests that I would not burn the house down nor would the charcoal be in the house long enough to burn the oxygen out of the room. When the kabobs were done the hibachi went back to the patio table and we feasted on these wonderful shrimp. The only change I made was to substitute lime juice, I was out of lemons. My guests insisted on getting a copy of the recipe. They couldn't believe it was as simple as it is. Thanx for posting this great recipe. Pierre

    I just didn't have good luck with this shrimp. None of us really liked the shrimp/bacon combo and there was literally no flavor, other than bacon. I assumed that we would love it because I loved bacon wrapped scallops! At any rate, I also had a devil of a time getting the skewers cooked evenly and the bacon had a tendency to fall off. I've made shrimp skewers before, so I can only figure the bacon is just sort of a mess on the grill. We have loved every recipe of yours that we have tried, but for some reason, this one just didn't work out for us.
