Wrapping one outstanding food around another couldn't possibly go wrong, especially when one of those foods is bacon. These surf and turf morsels may just be appetizers, but chances are you'll want them as a main course.
20 large shrimp, peeled, deveined, tail on (if desired)
10 slices bacon, cut in half
Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to medium heat. Grease the cooking grates.
Wrap one half slice of bacon around each piece of shrimp and secure the ends with a toothpick.
Place the shrimp on the grill and cook for 4 minutes, turning the shrimp over halfway through the cooking time. Cook until the bacon is fully cooked.
Remove the shrimp from the grill and serve hot.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.

Too cold to grill so I made these under the broiler. Put three shrimp on a skewer. Sprinkled the almost cooked bacon with a little brown sugar and let it caramelize. YUMMM!
