My Angel on Horseback

Cameron is no cooking rookie. Getting home from my trip to Birmingham for the Miss Alabama Pageant, I was greeted by my man with a dinner plan. While I was away, he discovered a Simply Recipes version of angels on horseback: Chipotle Lime Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp and decided to treat me to a home-cooked meal to welcome me home.

Grocery List:

1. Large shrimp, peeled and deveined (We doubled the Simply Recipes recipe and used ~30 shrimp)
2. 4 Tbs. olive oil
3. Zest from 2 limes
4. Juice from 2 limes
5. 1/2 tsp. chipotle powder
6. 15 strips thin bacon, cut in half (30 pieces)
7. Skewers for grilling

Angelic bacon. P.S. Adding bacon to any recipe is cheating!

Peeled and deveined shrimp soaked in olive oil chipotle lime marinade

After wrapping the shrimps in bacon and skewering them, grill 'em up

Brush more of the olive oil chipotle lime dressing

I relaxed with a drink while the shrimp cooked

Perfectly grilled

The real angel :-) Cam's grilling talent definitely rivals the baton twirling and hand bell playing I witnessed at the pageant.
