bacon-wrapped shrimp + scallion buttermilk dressing

Let's kick off Memorial weekend with a twist!


Everyone is expecting hot dogs, hamburgers, steaks, or fried fish, right?
Let's do grilled bacon-wrapped shrimp!  I mean, come on.  That doesn't sound fantastic already?  And drizzle it with some scallion buttermilk dressing?  Oh man.
Couldn't be easier, too.  It takes about 10 minutes to prep and about 3 minutes on the grill.  That's it! 
Try it - it'll be a huge hit at your Memorial Day party!

Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp with Scallion Buttermilk Dressing
Serves 4.
1 pound fresh shrimp, deveined and peeled
About 6 strips of bacon
1 scallion, chopped
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 lime

Preheat your grill to high heat.
Cut the bacon into pieces that are about the same size as your shrimp.


Wrap the bacon around the shrimp and secure onto skewers.


Grill for about 3 minutes, until done completely through but still juicy.


Meanwhile, make the dressing.
Combine the scallion, buttermilk, and mayo in a small food processor.  Pulse until mostly smooth.  Add the juice of the lime and stir to combine.


Serve shrimp over rice with a drizzle of dressing over the top.  Enjoy!!
