A Hankerin'
Lately i've had a hankering for BACON wrapped SHRIMP!
So, being at home alone on the weekend and the steelers game on for the AFC championship, i indulged myself!
First to Sam's Club for some shrimp and bacon!

Then some quality time wrapping the shrimp.
(note: cut bacon strips in half! otherwise it's a roll of bacon!)

First Change of Plans!
i was going to spear each wrap with a toothpick to hold them while on the grill. BUT!
way better idea was to use the bamboo skewers! nice! easy to handle and flip!

Spent a couple of minutes preparing the accompanying side dishes! after all, there is nothing like eating a well balanced meal!

Now i had to shovel a path out the back door to the grill and clean the snow off of it!
opened it up and fired it right up!
10 seconds later, it is out of gas! and it was to cold and to much snow (to lazy) to go back to the shed and swap out tanks!)

Second Change of Plans!
so i brought them back in and broiled them in the oven! OH my, did the house smell good! And finished up minutes before the steelers game started.

Oh by the way! Steelers won!
