Savory Grilled Shrimp

Lemon-garlic marinated shrimp, wrapped in bacon and grilled.

Recipe Ingredients:

1 1/2 pounds large shrimp

2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lemon, juiced

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
15 slices lean bacon

Cooking Directions:

1. Mix oil, garlic, lemon juice, pepper and parsley together in flat pan. Marinate shrimp in oil mixture.
2. Prepare grill.
3. Cut excess fat off ends of bacon slices. Wrap a slice of bacon around each shrimp and fasten with a wooden pick.
