2 cheese bacon wrapped shrimp
(3 ratings)
I recently entered this in the 101 Appetizers contest and this won grand prize! We live right on the ocean here in Florida and have friends that shrimp and are generous with their catch. I have to come up with new ways to fix shrimp. The first time I saw a freshly caught shrimp, I freaked, because they truely are a homely little critter. I got over that real quick though!
