Ingredients
Salsa Verde:
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 Serrano peppers stemmed and coarsely chopped
- 1 Jalapeno pepper stemmed and coarsely chopped
- ¼ yellow onion chopped
- handful cilantro
- 1 28-ounce can Las Palmas green chile enchilada sauce
- salt to taste
Shrimp:
- 1/2 pound Bacon
- 1/2 cup salted butter melted
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
- 20 medium-large shrimp about 1 pound
- 3 Jalapeno peppers cut into thin strips
- wooden toothpicks presoaked
Instructions
Salsa Verde:
- In a blender place garlic, chopped serrano and jalapeño peppers, onion, cilantro, sauce, and blend for about 1 minute. Do not over blend. Salsa should be chunky. Taste and add salt as needed.
Shrimp:
- Microwave bacon on high for 1 minute. Separate slices and cut slices in half crosswise and let cool.
- In a bowl, combine melted butter, lime juice, garlic powder, pepper, and oregano.
- Peel the shrimp, butterfly, and devein, leaving the tail and last section intact. Place 2 jalapeño strips in each shrimp and press sides together. Wrap a half slice of bacon around each shrimp and secure with a toothpick. Use a pastry brush to coat the shrimp with butter mixture.
Broil:
- Place bacon-wrapped shrimp evenly on a foil-lined cookie sheet. Place under broiler. Broil for 10 to 12 minutes, turning over after 5 to 6 minutes.
Grill:
- Skewer 3 to 4 shrimp per skewer. (If using wooden skewers, don’t forget to soak skewers about 30 minutes before using.) Place crosswise on the grates and grill for about 4 to 6 minutes on each side. Remove from skewer and serve warm with salsa verde.
Notes
- Serve them with the zesty Las Palmas Green Enchilada Sauce for tangy salsa verde dip.
- Don't forget to soak the skewers prior to grilling. Alternatively, use metal ones.
