Bacon Jalapeno Lime Shrimp

These are so fabulous!  My husband’s exact words were, “I feel like I’m at a restaurant.”  He loved them…and he helped grill them too!
Bacon Jalapeno Lime Shrimp
We made these shrimp last Saturday night.  They were so good.  It was such a great grilling recipe.  They are perfect as a main dish or as an appetizer.  Shrimp cook very quickly too, so it doesn’t take long to enjoy these.   We ate them with some grilled corn on the cob.  DELISH!
