I posted this in another thread about meat/protein and thought I would put it here too for others looking for a yummy easy recipe!!

I love bacon wrapped shrimp, it's so easy to do on the George Foreman Grill cuz the shrimp is already cooked, so it just takes a few mins on the grill to heat and cook the bacon, and I can cook just a few at a time. It doesn't take many to fill me up! I dip it in this creole mustard recipe I got out of a magazine. I modified it and use greek yogurt for the sour cream, and the splenda/brown sugar mix instead of just brown sugar. And onion powder for the minced onion. I cut the bacon into 3 pieces instead of just 2. Here is the original recipe then I made my own modifications:

Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp With Creole Mustard

Prep time; 20 mins. (it's way less time if you use the already peeled deveined and cooked shrimp in the bags)

Total time; 35 mins.

Servings; 8

1/2 c. whole grain Dijon mustard

1/4 c. sour cream

1 tpsp. minced red onion

1 tpsp. packed brown sugar

1/2 tsp.worcestershire sauce

1/4 tsp. tabasco

24 large shrimp,peeled & deveined(about 1 lb.)

1/2 tsp. dried thyme

12 slices bacon,halved crosswise

wooden toothpicks

CREOLE SAUCE.............

In small bowl, combine mustard, sour cream,onion, sugar, worcestershire sauce and tabasco sauce; cover and refrigerate. Sprinkle shrimp with thyme. Wrap 1 half slice bacon around each shrimp with thyme; secure with toothpick.

Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp; cook tumbling once, until shrimp are cooked through and bacon is crisp, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Remove toothpicks; arrange on platter. Serve warm with sauce.

I have filed away that receipe for when I get to that point in my diet. I am 8 weeks post op and I know that my stomach would never take that right now. I just had a very small portion of fish and a little cottage cheese and my tummy is totally full. but it does make me hungry for something with a little more taste. Thanks for sharing

I'm going to get some shrimp RIGHT NOW!!!

You're welcome! And when you decide to try it, you can just start out with 1 or 2 to make sure your sleeve will tolerate it ok. It doesn't take much to fill you up with the sleeve, especially when you first move to more solids. This is yummy, I hope you enjoy it.

I love shrimp & this sounds so good... but since I was sleeved, I have a hard time eating shrimp! Anyone else have this problem? Eggs too...

I don't have any trouble with shrimp or eggs, but I have heard of people having issues tolerating some things. I've been really lucky. I have seen where people might have issues for a bit but later they are able to tolerate things better. I hope you can enjoy your shrimp and eggs soon.
