Cooking relieves stress for me, provides with an opportunity to be creative, boost my mood, and brings back wonderful memories of my mom's kitchen. I have been a culinary part-time instructor for several years in addition to my professional careers as a cancer research scientist, an educator, a healthcare administrator, and a community leader. I have done several cooking demos, TV shows, and I still continue to do so. I would like to share my cooking adventure through this blog and hope you enjoy these recipes.

Shrimps Wrapped with Bacon


Ingredients:
12-18 jumbo shrimps (precooked and deveined)
8-12 bacon strips
Toothpicks or skewers

Ingredients for Marinade:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon black pepper powder
1/3 teaspoon chilli powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or paste
1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Salt is not required as bacon is heavily salted. Mix all the ingredients above.
Add shrimps to the mixture and let them marinade for 15-20 minutes.

Preparation:
Remove shrimps from the marinade and wrap a strip of bacon around the shrimp.
Skewer them or secure with toothpicks. Do it for all the shrimps.
Heat the griddle and put them on the heated griddle.
Bacon will begin to release oil. Stir fry by turning them around in the same oil until they are light to dark brown.
Make sure not to overcook them.
Sprinkle some pepper and squeeze fresh lemon juice on top.
Serve hot with steamed or grilled asparagus (my favorite).
