Scrumptious

Thanks again to allrecipes.com, I've found another fabulous recipe. Instead of serving this as an appetizer, I put it with roasted potatoes and a small tomato/avocado salad for dinner.

Matt said this is one of his favorites so far.

It's a good thing Matt eats slowly. I almost forgot to get a pic!

Shrimp Gabriella 

TIME: Prep: 35 min. Cook: 15 min.

Ingredients:

• 15 large shrimp
• 6 ounces provolone cheese, cut into 15 strips
• 1 can green chiles, diced
• 8 slices bacon, cut in half
• 1/4 cup barbecue sauce

Directions:

Peel, devein and butterfly the shrimp or prawns. (To butterfly shrimp: Split shrimp down the center, cutting almost completely through.)

Precook the bacon in the microwave, approximately 2-3 minutes. Let cool.

Insert a strip of provolone cheese and 1/2 teaspoon of the diced green chilies into each shrimp. Fold over the shrimp and wrap with a half strip of bacon. Secure with wooden picks.

Cook shrimp on grill (or in a 400 degree preheated oven), basting with your favorite barbecue sauce, until bacon is cooked crisp and shrimp is pink. If you bake them, be sure to spray the pan with cooking spray before setting the shrimp down. Yield: 2 servings.
