Bacon Wrapped Shrimp Ingredients

These basic 6 ingredients are all that you will need for this easy recipe:

• Shrimp- for this recipe, I like to go with the large or jumbo shrimp. The larger shrimp are easier to wrap with the bacon.

• Limes
• Olive oil
• Garlic salt
• Black pepper
• Dried parsley
