Last weekend we celebrated my mom's birthday at the National Harbor and
ate at McCormick & Schmick's Seafood & Steaks. One of the apps was so
good I had to try to recreate it. Shrimp Kisses.

They are shrimp stuffed with pepper jack cheese, wrapped in bacon. I
decided to do mine on the grill and the bacon was thin enough not to
have to par cook it first to keep the shrimp from overcooking. I
grilled them in this grill pan so I could avoid flipping each one so
they wouldn't get messed up, I only had to flip the whole grill pan. I
think this was a success even though I lost a little of the cheese from
a couple of them from melting out.

The ones at the restaurant were HUGE shrimp. I can't find them that big
here. These were a little hard to handle once you handle the bacon
because it all gets slippery. If you ever see something like this on a
menu, you must try them if you like shrimp/prawns.

LOL. I have to admit that I thought that was a lot of work and I had
some concerns that the bacon might overwhelm the shrimp.... but.... damn
it, they look good. You could feed that to me any time.

Great looking shrimp!

Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them.

You might be lucky. In my experience, the larger shrimp are, the more
they cost per pound. I guess the deal is that that cooking times for
the big shrimp coincides with the time it takes to cook the bacon.

I cook a lot of shrimp on the BBQ grill and don't bother going to all
that work. I marinate them in with a lot of garlic and some hot sauce,
along with lemon or lime juice, olive oil and other things. I remember
local restaurants that used to serve grilled shrimp and scallop dishes
with bacon, but got away from them because my experience was that shrimp
and scallops were cooked long before the bacon.

I am a lazy cook. As good as this dish seems, I usually opt for the
faster, easier versions. But... I sure wouldn't complain if she fed it
to me.
