How to Make Easy Shrimp Kabobs

  1. Prepare the shrimp: Peel and devein 1 pound of large shrimp.
  2. Wrap each shrimp with a half slice of bacon (about 8 slices total). Secure with a toothpick if needed.
  3. Thread the bacon-wrapped shrimp onto skewers.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup melted butter, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  6. Brush the kabobs generously with the lemon-butter mixture.
  7. Grill the kabobs for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through and the bacon is crispy. Turn frequently to ensure even cooking.
  8. Before serving, brush the kabobs with the remaining lemon-butter mixture.
  9. Serve immediately with any extra lemon-butter sauce for dipping.
