Tags: I see it this way!

 I didn't have time to take a better picture because: a. The wine tasting started at 6:00 p.m. and I took these out of the oven at 6:02 p.m. b. I didn't use my semi-professional camera c.  My lights were left in the garage from the beer bottle project d. I didn't have my tripod e. I didn't have a decorative plate f. and the list goes on and on and ...... ---------------- ------------------------------- ---------- OK, it's true I should have a better picture of my bacon covered shrimp.  It's true that only at the last minute  did I think to get a picture with my Canon PowerShot. Bottom line is "it's not a great food shot". So to make this post worthwhile, here is the recipe: Mesquite Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp 2 doz. medium sized shrimp 1 lb. of thin sliced bacon. 1 bottle of McCormick's Mesquite marinade for seafood Clean and de-vein shrimp.  Pour about half the marinade onto shrimp and set aside for about half and hour.  Once marinaded to satisfaction wrap each shrimp in 1/2 strip of bacon. I just cut each piece of bacon into two pieces. Try to cover whole front and leave tail uncovered. Also place each wrapped shrimp onto a flat cookie sheet. I like to cover with aluminum foil to make cleanup easier.  Place into top shelf of an oven preheated to 375 degrees. It should take about 20-30 minutes for bacon to cook. If during this 20-30 minute period there is an accumulation of water/bacon fat, remove excess liquid and continue to cook. Once bacon is brown and almost crisp remove from oven. Quickly pour about a teaspoon of marinade on top of each shrimp. Turn on the broiler and return shrimp to oven to put a final glaze on everything. This is some good eating. This is not one of my original recipes.  While Margo and I were in Orlando a few week ago we went to Latin Quarters, in the City Walk section of Universal Studios.  I had the above with some sort of Asian  marinade.  I like the mesquite better.  The trick is to use thin bacon as not to over cook the shrimp.  I've had scallops cooked like this but not shrimp. Why didn't I think of that?
