We love these and make them frequently.

16        Lg                    Shrimp , peeled and deveined

½         Cup                 Olive Oil

1          Tsp                  Ginger, grated (or 1/4 tsp ginger powder)

2          Lg                    Cloves of Garlic, minced

1          Cup                 Cilantro Leaves (loose)

¼         Tsp                  Celtic Sea Salt

½         Tsp                  Chili Powder

¼         Tsp                  Tumeric Powder

½         Tsp                  Cumin Powder

¼         Tsp                  Paprika Powder

1                                  Lime (1/2 medium or 1 large)

1 – 2                            Jalapenos

8          Slices               Bacon, thick cut (slightly cooked)

Mix olive oil with spices and lime juice, puree in a food processor, and marinate shrimp in mixture for 3 to 4 hours, longer if desired. 

About 30 minutes prior to when you want to eat, slightly cook the bacon. I normally don't use the microwave, but for this recipe I arrange the bacon on a plate and put it in the microwave for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.

Next slice the back of each shrimp, cut jalapenos in slices length-wise about 1/8th inch thick and place in back of shrimp, wrap 1/2 slice of bacon around shrimp and put on a skewer. 

 When all the shrimp has been skewered, grill until done basting with leftover marinade.

DH likes to dip them in creamy jalapeno dressing. I sometimes dip them in homemade mayonnaise, bacon fat, other animal fat, coconut oil, or nothing at all. Either way they are delicious.
