Hubs made these tonight - I'm merely the critic! These were knock-out delicious but I have to think his putting his own spin on them had a lot to do with that. First he used beautiful large meaty shrimp - 13-15 count. These big guys required more than just a third of a slice of bacon so Hubs didn't cut the bacon until after he partially cooked it in the microwave and saw how long he needed the pieces to be. As for the spices he cut waaaaaaay back on the pepper and that was definitely to our liking. Finally he didn't want the muss and fuss of frying them so he opted to broil them instead. When we make these again however we'll make it easy on ourselves and just use a good Cajun seasoning rather than mix all the herbs and spices individually. This would be a fine and proud addition to your holiday appetizer table. Read More

I made it using the amounts in the recipe and it was WAY too spicy. They were still pretty good though and I will definitely try them again using much less pepper. Read More

WOOOOO HOOOOO these where so over powering with spices you lost the flavor of the shirmp. There alot of work. I think I'll try again some other time and not coat them as much. I used a quarter of the white pepper and cayenne that the recipe called for and still they were very spicy Read More

The spiciness was good. Very flavorful dish. Only thing I would do is cook the bacon more before wrapping the shrimp. I would cook it in the micro and after wrapping the shrimp finish cooking in the broiler instead of in a fry pan. Read More

My husband and I love this recipe and make it often (too spicy for the kids). We leave out the cayenne pepper when preparing this. Have made this for friends and family and they go crazy for it! It takes a while to make because of the bacon and peeling the shrimp but it is a great recipe! Read More
