heck yeah bacon wrapped shrimp

Just say that outloud and you will want to run to the market and buy the biggest praws you can find just to devour them.

These we tried this year on our fourth of july menu.
They were straight from heaven.

I think I said out loud in front of guests. THESE ARE AWESOME!!!

cause well.. they were and wickedly easy, and every man.... had seconds and thirds, and possibly fourths..

large 10-12 or 16-20 count prawns (depending on what your budget can handle and what the store has that week)
bacon (not thick cut)
Montreal Steak Seasoning
BBQ Sauce
toothpicks

Heat oven to 450 degrees.
Okay so deshell, detail your shrimp, rinse in cold water and shake off excess water (in colander).
Toss shrimp with Montreal Steak Seasoning
Slice the bacon in half.
Wrap bacon peice around the shrimp and slip toothpick threw to hold the bacon on.
Brush on both sides BBQ sauce.
Cover cookie sheet in foil.
Put shrimp right on the metal rack .. ( I actually place mine on cookie cooling rack, but its oven safe and its easy to move in and out oven) with a the foil covered cookie sheet right below it to catch drips. This way they get crispy don't sit in their own grease and are all around awesome.
Back for 10 to 15 minutes depending on your oven.
Pull them out of oven.
Serve hot.
Gain weight.. Yum.
