Ingredients

  • ½ cup vegetable oil

  • ¼ tablespoon lime juice

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • 10 cooked medium shrimp, shelled and deveined

  • 5 slices peppered bacon, cut in half

  • 1 (4 ounce) can whole green chili peppers, drained, and sliced lengthwise

  • 1 avocado - peeled, pitted and diced (Optional)

  • 1 lime, cut into wedges (Optional)

Directions

  1. Whisk together the oil, lime juice, garlic, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Toss the shrimp in the marinade, then refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

  2. Preheat an indoor electric grill for medium-high heat.

  3. Remove the shrimp from the marinade, and shake off excess. Wrap each shrimp with a strip of chili pepper, then half a bacon slice. Secure with a toothpick. Repeat with remaining shrimp. Cook on preheated grill until the bacon is crisp, and the shrimp is hot, 6 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle the shrimp with diced avocado, and garnish with lime wedges to serve.
