bacon-wrapped colossal shrimp

2021-04-03

I bought these online from 'Wholey's' and I must admit they're considerably more colossal than what I've ever seen at Walmart or Sam's Club. I admit, they are nice that big, but @ $25+/lb. way overpriced.
I tried them once, just to be able to scratch that off my bucket list, but once is more than enough.
After all, I can buy lobster tails for that price!

I used a pre-cooked rice & quinoa mix "seeds of Change" from Sam's Club.
Not my favorite thing, those pre-cooked bags, but I didn't know that when I bought them.

INGREDIENTS

This is what you need for 2 servings:

2 lb. extra colossal shrimp (6-8/lb.)
