BBQ Bacon Wrapped Shrimp

Last weekend my beloved laptop bit the dust. After 7 years of going strong it finally crashed and it’s gone to computer heaven. With that being said, I haven’t been able to really work on much blog stuff this week. Thankfully last Saturday I actually spent most of the day backing up photos and saving them to my external hard drive; something must have known that my computer was going to die because I had this urge that I HAD to get at much work done and loaded onto the external hard drive as possible.

I thankfully only lost a few files but I’m still kind of heartbroken over that. Thank goodness that I don’t let others bully me into not posting a ton of photos on Facebook because that’s where a lot of those photos had been upload… you know the ones that are now gone forever. So at least I still have Facebook copies of those!! Oh and yes, I’ve had people complain about the number of pictures I upload from birthday parties and trips. mmmm, yeah, never once has it crossed my mind to complain to someone about the amount of photos they upload to Facebook but I suppose each to our own.

BBQ Bacon Wrapped Shrimp

So all of that has absolutely nothing to do with BBQ Bacon Wrapped Shrimp but I really wanted to tell you about this no computer/no internet week I’ve been having! I had to sneak time on my dad’s computer (ok not really sneak but borrow haha) in order to even put this post up today!

But let’s move on and get back to the shrimp. You’re ready for shrimp right?

When I was a waitress, I worked at Rock-ola Cafe. Although I can’t remember exactly how it was made, I do remember that we had some type of shrimp appetizer there that was pretty darn good.

I think it was Buffalo Shrimp….perhaps it was bacon wrapped shrimp… I can’t really remember, but I do remember that is was good (hey, that was a few years ago, give me a break haha)

But the point is, I remember there being an awesome shrimp appetizer because they served it in a huge Martini glass. When someone ordered it, the kitchen filled the inside of the glass with blue cheese and the jumbo shrimp hung on the rim of the glass. It was a “show stopper”. When you walked out of the kitchen with that shrimp appetizer on the tray everyone stopped and watched you!

Something got me to thinking about my days at Rock-ola the other day and I remembered that shrimp!

So while I was trying to think of how to use the BBQ sauce that was given to us in Asheville and I thought “Oh I’ll make my own shrimp appetizer… I’ll make BBQ Bacon Wrapped Shrimp… well because everything is better with Bacon”. 😉

BBQ Bacon Wrapped Shrimp

These are simple to make but have a punch of flavor! Big Bear loved them and couldn’t stop eating them!

I even made my friend Nikki and her girls try them and these shrimp got rave reviews! I can see these disappearing mighty quickly if you were to make them for dinner or for a party!

Makes 10 BBQ Bacon Wrapped Shrimp
                                                                     (Click to Print)

Ingredients 

10 Jumbo Shrimp
10 Slices of Bacon

BBQ Sauce (I used Smokin’ J’s Fiery Foods Ninja BBQ Sauce )
Greek Seasoning
Directions 

Preheat oven to 400F.

Remove the shells and tails from the shrimp. Pat dry and wrap each jumbo shrimp with a piece of bacon. Slide 4 shrimp onto a skewer but don’t let them touch. Do this with all of the shrimp and bacon. (You don’t have to use skewers, you can just lay the shrimp on a pan)

Place the bacon wrapped shrimp on a roasting pan and sprinkle each side with Greek seasoning. Next slather on a nice layer of BBQ sauce onto each side.

Bake at 400F for 16 minutes or until bacon is done.

    So sorry about your laptop! That happened to me back in January (on my birthday no less) BOO 🙁 I feel your pain, though. I’m glad you still had those precious photos on Facebook. The only thing that can make shrimp better is bacon! Yum!

    So sorry your computer crashed, but what a good thing that you had some sort of premonition and backed up a bunch of your files. That’s a good lesson for all of us! I’ve had people give me grief about my posting to facebook too, but who cares, right? Anyway, these shrimp look SO flippin’ tasty! Pinning!

    Sorry about your computer! Mine bit the dust a few weeks ago. Poor thing was on its last leg, blue screening and everything. Now I’m paranoid with my new computer, fearing it will blue screen while I’m in the middle of editing photos. Anyway – THESE SHRIMP! WRAPPED IN BACON! Amazing! This has me totally excited. I love shrimp and bacon equally.

    Sorry that your computer took a break – but I hope a stronger, better one is in your immediate horizon 🙂 Good thinking to back up everything and who bullies someone about their facebook photos – send them my way – I have a stiletto ready to Gibbs’ smack them with. These shrimp look AMAZING!!! And the idea of that martini presentation for the buffalo is bordering on genius for the holidays 🙂

    While out at Outback for lunch today, the first thing I saw when I flipped open my menu was Bacon Wrapped Shrimp. I have been craving them ever since. Pinned so I can work up some at home. Thanks for sharing.

    I tried making theses for dinner tonight. They looked just like the picture and the flavor was wonderful but the underside of the bacon was not done. I even tried sticking them back in the oven longer and then again under the broiler. I noticed a few other recipes with instructions to cook the bacon half way first before wrapping the shrimp. I will try that next time but still, this was a very easy and tasty recipe.

    This is Delicious! I sprinkled with Old Bay instead of Greek seasoning (just because I couldn’t find Greek seasoning in the store I went to that day) and turned them over at 10 minutes so both sides of bacon were crisped. Everyone loved them! Thanks!
