Serving Size: 10

Cooking Time: 26 minutes

Ingredients

• 0.5 Cups (cup) vegetable oil
• 0.25 Tablespoons (tbsp) lime juice
• 1 Clove garlic, minced
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 1 Pinch pepper, to taste
• 10 Medium shrimp, cooked
• 5 Slices peppered bacon
• 1 4 Ounces (oz) can whole green chili peppers, drained
• 1 Avocado, peeled
• 1 Lime, divided

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
2. Preheat an indoor electric grill to medium-high heat.
3. Remove the shrimp from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Wrap each shrimp with a slice of green chili pepper, followed by half a slice of bacon. Secure with a toothpick to hold everything in place.
4. Place the wrapped shrimp on the preheated grill. Cook for 6 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and the shrimp are heated through.
5. For an optional garnish, sprinkle the shrimp with diced avocado and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
