Broiled Shrimp Appetizer

My favorite way to serve shrimp as an appetizer! This one is surely a hit with everyone. Thanks to my special friend, Faye Tackett of Orange Beach, Ala. for sharing this winner with me.

Broiled Shrimp Appetizer

3 lbs.shrimp, tails on
1 lb. bacon
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 cup sherry
1 tsp. chopped garlic
1 tsp. ground ginger
1 Tbsp. honey

Cut 1 pound bacon into 3 sections. Wrap each shrimp with 1/3 piece of bacon. Fasten with toothpick. Mix soy sauce, sherry, garlic, ginger and honey for marinade and pour over shrimp in large, flat container. Turn every few hours. Refrigerate 35 hours.

Place drained shrimp on broiler pan (height for broiling steak) and cook 3 minutes on each side. Serve hot!

Note: Reserve marinade and store in refrigerator. Boil for a few minutes and it is ready to use on steaks and chops!

Enjoy!
