Delicious combination of flavors. My madre-in-law made this at a party. I made this a romantic meal for the hubby since it can also go well with beer or wine beverages. It is super simple gourmet!

SERVES 6 -8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 lbs raw shrimp, headless, peeled, and deveined
1 lb bacon, cut in 1 in. pieces
1/2 lb monterey jack cheese, grated
2 tablespoons margarine
garlic powder
ground black pepper
30 very thin corn tortillas (or thin as you can get)

Directions

1
Fry bacon on med-hi until crispy (when grease is foaming) because they will rehydrate when other ingredients are added. Trust me, you don't want rawlike bacon in your dish!
2
Drain grease from pan, leave a little for cooking.
3
Add margarine, melt.
4
Add shrimp, sprinkle garlic powder and dash of black pepper. Stir constantly because shrimp cooks fast. Just when all shrimp turn pink, turn off heat so they do not overcook.
5
Top with cheese.
6
Cook corn tortillas on range (when tortilla starts to bubble, it's ready.) If you have an electric stove, you can cook the tortillas on a skillet or nonstick pan.
7
Scoop shrimps into tortillas and enjoy! This goes well with pinto beans that you can re-fry with the bacon grease you just separated.
