Not really shrimp - they\'re HUGE!

I picked up some black tiger shrimp from my local butcher - these things are over six inches long and weigh over a quarter of a pound each!

I seasoned them with DP's Tsunami Spin, wrapped them in bacon, and sauced them with a honey/hickory barbecue sauce at the end.

For size reference, these were cooked on my small, not my mini, and it took an entire strip of bacon to wrap each one:

They were REALLY good!

I don't think I've ever seen shrimp that big. They look great.

Nice looking meal. When I get some that large I like to stuff with crab and wrap w/bacon.

Ooohhh... That looks wonderful with the crab stuffing. I have four more, and may give it a try!

LOL ... no, I do still have the mini, though she was worried I used her for collateral.
