Wow , such a nice dish!!!! Loved it -
Hmmmm, hmmm!!! Just love bacon and shrimp together!! I made these wonderful bites for my lunch today, using 12 large shrimp. I orginally planned to cook them on the grill on high, but do to a storm coming in at lunch had to switch and use the oven. Mine ended up cooking in about 20-25 mins, but realized it was my fault, as I used the glass pie dish I had out for flaming, which slowed the cooking. I should have used my rimmed cookie sheet. Mine didn't really flame, so I think next time I wouldn't heat the rum first. After they were flamed, I squeezed some fresh lemon juice on them and had a great lunch!! Thanks for sharing Loof!!! Made for 123 Tag!! -
I made 10 of these, 5 for me and 5 for my nephew. He had eaten his up, and I was only on my 2nd one as I had to take photographes first. Well, with 3 left on the plate, I realized I had forgotten to flambe' them (the coconut rum was still sitting on the counter). So over there I went, put my 3 pieces back in the pan and continued with the recipe. Wow! doing a flambe' really enhances this normally 2 ingredient recipe. I loved the coconut rum flavor (I didn't flambe' long, just a couple of seconds) but it was fun and flavorful. Thanks for sharing the recipe. :)
