Marinade and Cooking Instructions:
- Mix marinade ingredients in small bowl or Ziplock plastic bag, add cleaned shrimp, and allow to marinade for about 30 minutes in the refrigerator
- After the shrimp has marinated, pre-heat oven to 400-degrees F
- Line a cookie sheet with foil
- Cut your 8 slices of uncooked bacon in half, and place on cookie sheet
- Next pre-cook bacon slices in the oven for about 8 minutes (you don't want them crisp, just partially cooked and still limp)
- While bacon is cooking, remove seeds from jalapeno and cut into long, thin strips
- Remove bacon and let cool for a few minutes
- Pre-heat barbecue grill - medium heat
- Sprinkle shrimp pieces with chipotle seasoning
- Tightly wrap a half-strip of the partially-cooked bacon around a piece of shrimp and a slice or two of the jalepeno
- Insert skewer through the wrapped shrimp so it holds the bacon and jalepeno firmly in place
- Repeat with each shrimp
- Cook on grill - about 3 minutes each side, or until bacon is cooked and shrimp is opague
Remove from skewers, serve hot, and enjoy!
