use prosciutto instead of bacon. some people will precook the bacon a bit before wrapping.

somebody shut me the fark up.
Yep. Partially cook the bacon over moderate heat to render some of the fat without allowing the pieces to crisp. Don't use thick cut.
Cook hotter than normal too. That will crisp the bacon without overcooking the shrimp.
Rick's idea may be better in that bacon can overpower the delicate taste of shrimp.

i'll have to add that i've never actually tried it myself with shrimp. but i've done bacon wrapped scallops with no precooking the bacon and they were great. just put the bacon side down and the bacon shields the seafood from the direct heat, then flip to the other bacon side
(my shrimp are so good, they don't need no stinkin bacon! :biggrin: )

There is a little finesse to it, but i have placed the shrimp in the freezer for 20-30 minutes prior to cooking. And definitely don't use thick cut bacon.

Someone here, some months ago, suggested pre-cooking the bacon
on High for one minute in the wave.
I laughed, then tried it.
Makes all the difference in the world.

May have to try the pre-cooking in wave mod...sounds like may be winner.
Weiser, I figured you might chime in and say you used a heat gun to warm bacon!
Freezer trick may be good trick too.
Thanks for input.

Does it count if I thought about it?
I did, just trying to work in a power tool for your amusement. :biggrin:
The minute thing did work well.
The Bacon becomes somewhat slimy &
slippery and is more difficult to work with but, it does work.

True, the half cooked bacon is kinda slimy and hard to work with, but it beats having overcooked seafood.
