Bacon wrapped Shrimp

[Weezyfan82]

Could i use Turkey Bacon instead?

[freitasex]

@Weezyfan82

Sure, that would be fine!

[25arlena]

What's the temperature on the oven when you put the chiles?

[freitasex]

@25arlena

I turned the oven to "broil"

Thank you for your question!

[mmiguy2306]

this looks soo great thanks.. just a tip use a few water soaked toothpicks to hold the bacon on the shrimp while they cook

[freitasex]

@mmiguy2306

Ok, thank you for that!

[KryptikStudios]

ive done that before ive also got ham and wrapped cream cheese with it then put it in a tortilla its really good:)

[freitasex]

@KryptikStudios

Great ideas you have there, thank you for that!

[purpl3ful]

Is the shrimp Pre-cooked?

[freitasex]

@purpl3ful

These are raw shrimp.

Thank you for your question!

[dreamer72fem]

These look amazing....shrimp and bacon...how can you go wrong. I will take a dozen to go:)

[freitasex]

@dreamer72fem

If you like your bacon well done, you can cook the bacon a bit before wrapping the shrimp :)

[d4poptart]

oh this looks scrumptious!! anything wrapped in bacon is a win in my book :) ... so i was at barnes and noble today and saw Luke Nguyen's new cookbook "My Vietnam: Stories & Recipes" ... It reminded me of you because i remember you telling me that he was your favorite cook on TV. You should check it out.. the recipes in there looked really good!

[freitasex]

@d4poptart

OH MY GOD, thank you very much for telling me this, wow!

Many times this is what I do.... I go to the Library and see if they have the book, then if I must have it... of course I buy it.

I will add this to my do list and I just may make something from this book, you just made my day/week/ month :)

[lacigreen]

omg. this looks SO delicious!

[freitasex]

@lacigreen

Thank you Laci :)

[scent007]

i'm gonna tell something i'm extremely happy when i know about it .. there is beef bacon i know you might laugh at me but i didn't know that ..

[freitasex]

@scent007

I should buy some and try it :)

[shawnio]

did you catch those on your shrimp boat?

[freitasex]

@shawnio

Ha ha Ha, very funny :)

[jessicaluohappy]

i love how you put music in your videos:) so elegant feeling !

[freitasex]

@jessicaluohappy

Thank you :)

Some people do not like the music, so tomorrow ... in my next video, there will be no music.

I do that from time to time... no music.

Thank you again!

[johnwaynepresley]

My dad makes these on the grill and they are soo delicious!

[freitasex]

@johnwaynepresley

Grilling does sound better, thanks Veronica!

[johnwaynepresley]

@freitasex

No Problem Michael!

[Scorpion11381]

Stupid buffering phone won't let me enjoy this. I love shrimp but my throat swells up when I eat it. I still tempt fate and take benadryl when I dine on lovely SKRIMPS. Your plating has gotten great and I intend to watch this again after work. Maybe I can make it for my honey bear tonight.

[freitasex]

@Scorpion11381

That is horrible ... you throat swells up.... or is it, lol.

Thanks!

[cerebraLarceny]

YUMMMM

[freitasex]

@cerebraLarceny

Thanks!

[Eliiisabeth93]

this looks good!

can you please do a pasta fettuccine alfredo with a sauce that doesn't taste like butter? I like heavy cream like sauce better :)

[freitasex]

@Eliiisabeth93

You do not like my version of fettuccine alfredo?

[Eliiisabeth93]

@freitasex I haven't tried it yet lol.. I didn't know you had one sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. I'm sure it's good :) What I meant is that most alfredos have soo much butter in them but maybe it doesn't taste like that when you mix it with the cheese. I'll give it a try some time!

[GCgame]

I just eat a big bowl of Macaroni salad, WHY AM I STARVING AT THIS VIDEO ?? Looks really good Michael thought !

[freitasex]

@GCgame

Mac salad would go with this just fine, lol, sorry!

[MissPonderosa]

yum yum yuuummm!

[freitasex]

@MissPonderosa

Thank you, I see you have made your channel private, wow, you know I saw your singing video.

[angelwings500]

[freitasex]

@angelwings500

Wow, thank you!

[freitasex]

[TheVittleVlog]

[freitasex]

@TheVittleVlog

Thank you my friend!

[Xiia0Sn00pY]

freitasex, i would recommend if u could sharpen ur knifes abit. they look alil blunt and its very dangerous to have a blunt knife in a kitchen. just sayin from my experiences. anyway bravo on the recipe. Done quite smoothly.

[freitasex]

@Xiia0Sn00pY

I will do that, thanks!

[skatexpress]

Simple delicious recipe!

[freitasex]

@skatexpress

[TheCarltondry]

Nice recipe, I like your new pan too.

[freitasex]

@TheCarltondry

Thank you!!!

[paintball130]

Would you recommend rapping a whole lobster tail in bacon? idk why i thought about doing it... but it cant be that bad right?

[freitasex]

@paintball130

Sounds really good to me!

[james1937]

Excellent, the smell alone wins first prize, I remember in chem lab we made these on the bunsen burner, or was that hot dogs?

[freitasex]

@james1937

I remember Bunsen burners too!

[ultratec66]

Yummy!



[freitasex]

@ultratec66

Thanks!!

[1977mrbrian]

Looks delicious!! Shrimp and bacon, you cant go wrong with that combo!

[freitasex]

@1977mrbrian

Thanks and cheese too!

[bigjenn26]

yum-o

[freitasex]

@bigjenn26

Thank you!!

[ItoshikiTanuki]

I love it when food tastes so good it kinda makes you want to laugh

:]



[freitasex]

@ItoshikiTanuki

Exactly, thanks!

[beerzzz]

you made me drool  :-)

[freitasex]

@beerzzz

No I don't ... but my food does :)

[WillowBranchDesigns]

Oh my!! Looks so good & the shrimp looked like they were cooked perfectly. Between this video & watching Stacey's food video at ST is making my roasted sweet potatoes & Jerusalem artichokes seem not as fun tonight. Maybe I'll throw some bacon in there. lol

I love that it was so good that it made you chuckle a little.

Thanks!!

Pam

[freitasex]

@WillowBranchDesigns

Thank you Pam :)

[wati1992]

SO SUPER GOOD!!

[freitasex]

@wati1992

Super Dooper!

[bowhunter2439]

[AirrowRocket]

Bravo!

[freitasex]

@AirrowRocket

[annasophiabebe]

[freitasex]

@annasophiabebe

Thank you, thank you very much!

[RAPSUCKS1738]

damn that looks good

[freitasex]

@RAPSUCKS1738

Thanks!

[Makousen]

*Drool* Oh man, this looks sooo good. :-)

[freitasex]

@Makousen

Thanks!



[ammohead73]

That looked Great!!!!!

[freitasex]

@ammohead73

Thank you !

[AnthonyHagen123]

Do you recommend raw or pre-cooked shrimp for this?

[freitasex]

@AnthonyHagen123

I recommend and used raw shrimp.

Thank you for your question!

[GarchompXX123]

that was probably way overcooked for the shrimp

[freitasex]

@GarchompXX123

You really think that?

The shrimp were 15 count to the pound and cooked 4 minutes.

[LaoSoftware]

@freitasex : How do I keep my oven from smoking? Everytime I bake or roast something, my oven starts to smoke. Then my fire alarm goes off. I have to open the windows and doors to let the smoke out.

[yoyomax12]

@GarchompXX123 They were chilled in the freezer 30 minutes prior to cooking and were stuffed with cheese and wrapped in bacon, I don't think 4 minutes is unreasonable.

[BolognaRingRanch]

Fantastic! Looks really good!

jeff

[freitasex]

@BolognaRingRanch

You know... I would give up everything I have to have a home/place like yours.

Thank you for watching and thank you for the videos that you make!

[BolognaRingRanch]

@freitasex Thanks Michael. Some time come on over and visit and we'll fire up the Weber and grill some of it.

jeff

[freitasex]

@BolognaRingRanch

Oh Jeff, I think this would work very well on a weber grill.

You would have to watch it close, but it does have a short cook time!

[jcrefasi1]

Michael this looks sooooo good!! I can't wait until next shrimp season to try this. Those critters were huge. Until then I think I'll try this on a chicken breast pounded thin and wrapped with bacon. I'm not familiar with the cheese you mentioned so I'm off to google it. Thanks for sharing!!!

[freitasex]

@jcrefasi1

Manchego cheese is a excellent tasting sheeps milk cheese from Spain.

Not sure how to describe it... it is just plain good.

[LetzEat]

"That is so super good"...LOL....when words are hard to comeby because of food, I love it!!!

[freitasex]

@LetzEat

It is so good, that I had to giggle a bit, just wonderful, thanks for watching!

[werewolf30000]

YUM I luv shrimp,cheese,and bacon ima try this right now

[freitasex]

@werewolf30000

You will NOT be unhappy if you make this, so super good :)

[rhosteph]

That looks "so super good"!  Thanks so much for sharing! I definitely want to make these!!

[freitasex]

@rhosteph

Oh gosh Rhonda, saw this on TV and just had to make it.

I will make this again and again, who does not like cream cheese anyways.

Have you ever put cream cheese in scrambled eggs? ... If not you have to try that also!

Just some cream cheese in your eggs, not too much, to melt into them.

[rhosteph]

@freitasex I love cream cheese! And you're right about it on eggs!  My mom got me hooked on it when I was little! Let me know when you make the bacon wrapped shrimp again...I'll be right over!

[edenbainbridge]

nom nom nom

that whole platter looks fabulous, that salad is so pretty

i got a new color set of fiesta wear yesterday... evergreen. it is soo pretty.

xoexo

[freitasex]

@edenbainbridge

GD, I was just thinking of you today... wondering where the hell you were!

Evergreen sounds excellent to serve a christmas dinner on, with some red food or something.

Not that I am promoting christmas in any way....

I bought my tangerine set because I like how they look like "Fall" and even sweet potatoes, an awesome color for food. Tangerine looks so good with yellow corn and green beans.

I also saw something on TV yesterday about the star Orion Constellation.

[edenbainbridge]

@freitasex i love the tangerine color, it is a go to for my morning tea. the color is so cheery :) i ordered the scarlet set too. some times i think i put more thought into the color mixing for every one than the dinner itself LOL. when i got my first sets i burnt dinner because i got lost mixing and matching the plates. of course it still tasted good because it was on fiestawear LOL

xoexo

[andersbrtlsn]

Nice surf 'n turf!

[freitasex]

@andersbrtlsn

I did not think of it that way, what a GREAT thought, thanks!

[gramerpolise]

Freitasex, your videos are amazing!!!

p.s. you should make some kung pao chicken, it's nice:)

[freitasex]

@gramerpolise

Well.... if you go to my channel/page... and type in Kung Pao Chicken, you will see my video of my version of that, hope you like it as well :)

[PickerNation]

thats not a vein ...heheh its a crap tube

[freitasex]

@PickerNation

Schhhh, don't tell everybody that!

My mother told us kids (when we were small) that the last segment of the shrimp shell was just a "handle" to pick up the shrimp... she was afraid that if she said "tails" that we would not try shrimp.

That is the only lie that I can think of that my Mother ever told me.

[bladez0rz23]

what a mouthful of awesomeness!

perfecto =]

[freitasex]

@bladez0rz23

I am sure that this can be perfected a bit more with practice, but this was so awesome.

Saw this on TV last week, and just had to try it.

I did change it up.... they never put in the cayenne or the chili poblano....

The chili poblano really did not make any major taste difference, but the cayenne was excellent.

Thanks for watching :)

[poobum50]

Wouldn't be a Saturday without your video.

[freitasex]

@poobum50

Well poobum50 from Canada, thank you very much.

You make me *smile*

[thehittmann1981]

hehe, you can tell he that you really liked taste testing this one.

[freitasex]

@thehittmann1981

Oh .... you can tell?

Man this was so good that I could not help from the little laugh of joy!

[Perroquet51]

That's one of the best looking appetizers I've ever seen. What a perfect combination of ingredients. I just happen to have a bag of shrimp in the freezer and I intend to use them to make this recipe.

[freitasex]

@Perroquet51

Oh man Marc... you do not need the poblanos... just the cayenne.

I saw this on TV last week and had to try it.

Pretty simple and, oh so good.

[Reddylion]

awesomeness 

[freitasex]

@Reddylion

Thank you, thank you very much!

[MadMacTennents]

Hey Ho, mate. This looks yummy. Great stuff...

Greetz from Glasgow / Scotland...

[freitasex]

@MadMacTennents

Thank you my friend, I do hope that you try it someday.

It will make you *smile*

[imperceptibleme]

OMG it looks so yummy! I like my bacon a bit more done so I may have precooked it for a couple of minutes but leaving it still pliable enough to wrap that shrimp and then fried it on all 4 sides. Oh goodness It looked so good! Hugs!

[freitasex]

@imperceptibleme

That is a good idea, very good idea.

I must admit that I am unusual... as I like my bacon 1/2 cooked and say, sort of limp.

I love that extra fat taste not cooked out, but I realize most people like well cooked bacon.

If we ever meet again, I promise to NOT be so aloof.

Thank you Melissa :)

[Junr34]

OMG....

this is like the next best to after sex..

[freitasex]

@Junr34

Not sure about your comment there.

Eating this just may be better than that, lol, thanks!

[Sweetyix3]

You just love using that mini fork don't you?

[freitasex]

@TracphoneNinja

lol, yes that fork comes in handy!

[ricolinoroque]

My god food orgasm

[freitasex]

@ricolinoroque

Exactly what happened when I tasted these!

Saw it made on TV and just had to make this.

[gerald2003r]

This looks great, I'm going to swap out the shrimp for chicken, not a seafood person. Looks super yummy! I always Love what you have to offer. YouTube Chef! The Best!

[freitasex]

@gerald2003r

Sorry about your aversion to seafood.
