Ingredients

16 - jumbo prawns (large shrimp) uncooked

8 rashers (slices) - smoked streaky bacon (side bacon)

  - barbeque seasoning, to taste

Directions

1. Peel the prawns and remove the vein (if not already done). Cut each bacon rasher in two and wrap each prawn (shrimp) with ½ slice of bacon, securing with a toothpick.
2. Line a baking tin with aluminium foil and place a baking rack over (this keeps the prawns from sitting in the draining bacon fat and you can throw the foil away and only have to scrub the rack!). Place the prawn-bacon pieces on the rack, and sprinkle heavily with a barbecue seasoning of your choice (my own preference is Dunn's River Caribbean Barbeque Seasoning). Turn and sprinkle the second side, then let the prawn-bacon pieces rest for 15 minutes to allow the seasoning to soak in.
3. Cook in a preheated hot oven (Mk 8 - 450ºF - 230ºC) for 10 to 15 minutes, turning once, until the bacon is brown and crispy. Remove the toothpicks and serve hot with Baked Potatoes and sour cream.
