How to Make Barbecue Marinated Bacon Wrapped Shrimp

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/4 cup teriyaki marinade, 1/4 teaspoon white pepper, 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  2. Place 1 pound shrimp in a resealable plastic bag placed in a shallow dish.
  3. Pour the lemon juice mixture over the shrimp.
  4. Seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (longer is better!).
  5. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  6. Cut 6 slices bacon into thirds, yielding approximately 18 pieces.
  7. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon in batches (about 4-6 pieces at a time) for 3-5 minutes, or until the bacon starts to brown on the edges, turning once.
  8. Remove the bacon from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
  9. Drain the shrimp, discarding the marinade.
  10. Wrap each shrimp with a piece of cooked bacon.
  11. Thread the bacon-wrapped shrimp onto 8 small metal skewers.
  12. Grill the skewers for 8-10 minutes, or until the shrimp turns pink and opaque, turning once halfway through. Ensure the bacon is crispy.
  13. Serve immediately and enjoy!
