This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

A simple appetizer made with bacon, shrimp, and teriyaki sauce.
1 package (16 ounce size) bacon, each slice cut in half
40 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 bottle (10 ounce size) teriyaki sauce
Wrap one half slice of bacon around each shrimp and secure the ends with wooden toothpicks.
Place the shrimp in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Pour the teriyaki sauce evenly over the shrimp. Cover the dish and place in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Remove the cover from the baking dish. Place the dish in the oven and bake at 400 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until the bacon is crisp. Turn the shrimp over part-way through the cooking time so the bacon cooks evenly.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

I made these for our little football playoffs gathering. They were great appetizers, but I can't see eating them as an entree--way too salty with the bacon and teriyaki sauce both. I guess I could try low-salt versions of both next time, which is what I would advise.

You can easily serve this as an appetizer or an entree. It's so simple to make and since it has to be refrigerated for at least an hour to let the teriyaki sauce soak in, you can make it ahead of time (could even do overnight I think) which makes it a great choice for an appetizer for a party when you'll be busy prepping other foods. I was afraid that the shrimp would get overcooked but I believe that having it coated in the sauce, wrapped in bacon, and chilled helped keep it from overcooking. The cooking time was about right (maybe a hair under 20 minutes) for the bacon to be crisp. You'll just need to watch it as it gets close as the fattiness and thickness of the bacon will also make a difference in the cooking time.
