Adjust amounts to how many people you are feeding. Frozen bacon is alot easier to cut. Freeze the bacon and cut the bacon up in slices when bacon is frozen. Cut the bacon in slices according to how big the shrimp are. You want the bacon to go totally around the top part of the shrimp. Put the cut up bacon slices in a plastic bag and refrigerate to thaw till needed. I froze the bacon in the later part of the afternoon, took it out when it was frozen that night..cut it up in slices...put the bacon slices in a plastic bag and refrigerated it to thaw overnight.
Shrimp Bacon Bites:
2 lbs. fresh shrimp-bought them at Albertson's..in case someone is wondering where to buy fresh shrimp
Garic; SLIVER it..used alot..just guessing..probably 4 bunches...not individual cloves..use more or less according to your taste.
2 glass jars of homemade chili sauce-Albertson's-you can use a different brand, but, we prefer the homemade chili sauce
2 pkg.s bacon
2 pkgs. Malibu Seasoning or you could use Shrimp Seasoning. Alberton's sells both of them. I have used the shrimp seasoning before, but, we like the Malibu Seasoning better.
Many hours before you need the appetizer.. put the shrimp in a large bowl, sprinkle 2 pkgs. of the Malibu Seasoning or Shrimp Seasoning over the shrimp, add slivered garlic; pour the 2 jars of homemade chili sauce over the shrimp; stir shrimp micture gently to combine; refrigerate in a covered container..I used a Tupperware container.
Next- Put the cut-up bacon in a skillet and cook bacon just until the bacon is LIMP..DON'T COOK THE BACON THOUROUGHLY. Drain grease, put a paper towel on a plate and put the bacon on the plate; pat bacon with a paper towel.
Next-Take the shrimp mixture out of the refrigerator and wrap each shrimp with one piece of cut up bacon and secure shrimp with a toothpick. Pour the left over chili sauce mixture over the bacon shrimp and refrigerate it in a covered container for several hours..the longer it marinates in the refrigerator, the better it is.
A few minutes before you need the shrimp bacon appetizer, set oven to broil and put the bacon shrimp on the bottom of broiling pan-take the grid thing off. Pour the remaining chili sauce (that you saved in the refrigerator); pour it over the srhimp and broil 2 to 3 inches from heat until the bacon is done the way you like it. We like the bacon crisp so it probably took 3 minutes or so..be sure to keep an eye on it.
