Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp

An elegant appetizer — try it and treat your family! Bacon-wrapped shrimp look mouthwatering and aren't hard to make at all. To keep the shrimp from turning tough, thaw them slowly rather than using a quick-thaw method. Choose a dry-cured or cold-smoked bacon with nice streaks of fat.
