Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create the marinade. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Add the shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully. (30-60 minutes)

03

Step

Preheat an indoor electric grill to medium-high heat. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Remove the shrimp from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Wrap each shrimp with a strip of green chili pepper, followed by half a slice of peppered bacon. Secure with a toothpick. (15 minutes)

05

Step

Place the bacon-wrapped shrimp on the preheated grill. Cook until the bacon is crisp and golden brown, and the shrimp is heated through, approximately 6 to 10 minutes. (6-10 minutes)

06

Step

Carefully remove the shrimp from the grill. Sprinkle with diced avocado for a creamy contrast. Garnish with lime wedges and serve immediately. (2 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the marinade.
If you don't have an indoor grill, these shrimp can be cooked in a skillet over medium-high heat or baked in the oven at 400°F (200°C) until the bacon is crispy.
To prevent the bacon from shrinking too much during cooking, use thick-cut bacon.
Fresh lime zest can be added to the marinade for enhanced flavor.
