Bacon wrapped shrimp

I do run out of ideas on what to cook. Cooked shrimp saves me as I can easily make buttered shrimp. Another life saver is bacon. Since we buy bacon ends, they are thicker and cooking a few slices makes you full compared to cooking a whole package of the real ones which could sometimes be paper thin depending on the brand.

I use bacon like there's no tomorrow. I serve it alongside pancakes for breakfast, sometimes I put it on our fried rice or I include it on tomato based sauces. Instead of ham, I put chopped bacon when I make Embutido (Filipino Style Meatloaf) and when I make Meatloaf, I wrap the whole thing with slices of bacon as well.

That makes bacon a regular on my grocery list. One of my experiments was shrimp wrapped in bacon. This was few days before we left for our summer vacation. Hubby says it was good so I'll probably try it again tonight. It'll be good with the Greek salad :D
