Here at MUT we are so fortunate to have such a wonderful group of people that make this the fun site that it is. We are from different states and countries but yet we have so much in common, we enjoy each others thoughts and ideas and sense of humor. I thought if anyone is interested, that we could do a recipe thread where we maybe share favorite recipes or maybe even recipe's that are popular where you live. I live in Florida where of course we eat a lot of seafood and also citrus fruit, here is a recipe for Bacon wrapped shrimp and orange spinach salad, Emeril makes orange/poppyseed marinade that should be available at most stores.

cooking spray
6 slices smoked bacon
24 peeled/deveined shrimp-31/40 count (about 3/4 pound)
24 toothpicks

Steps
1. Spray grill with cooking spray, then preheat grill.
2. Stack bacon slices on top of each other and slice into 4 sections.
3. Wrap bacon around each shrimp and secure with toothpicks. Wash hands.
4. Place marinade in medium mixing bowl and add shrimp. Toss to coat and marinate 5 minutes.
5. Grill shrimp, covered 6-8 minutes, or until pink, turning occasionally to cook evenly. Discard any remaining marinade.
