FINGER-LICKIN GOOD SHRIMP

Category: Seafood

12 uncooked jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 cup Italian salad dressing
1/4 cup orange juice
6 bacon strips, cut in half
1 oz pepper Jack or cheddar cheese, julienned

Cut a small slit on the back of shrimp, not cutting all the way through. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the salad dressing and orange juice; add shrimp. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a skillet or microwave, cook bacon over medium heat until cooked but not crisp. Drain on paper towels.

If grilling the shrimp, coat grill rack with cooking spray. Prepare grill for indirect heat. Drain and discard marinade; place a piece of cheese in the slit of shrimp. Wrap bacon around shrimp; secure ends with toothpicks. Grill over indirect medium heat or broil 4 inches from the heat for 3 minutes on side or until shrimp turn pink. Serves 6
