Need your thought and input on making this dish. No help looking through most of this tread. I did get to eat a piece of
one in a Mexican resturant. They called it 'camarones a la momia'.
The large shrimp was totaly wrapped in bacon except for the tail (handle). They were straight (skewered I guess) and light
brown in color as though they were cooked in a hot oven or smoked. No flabby fat or burnt spots like on regulary fried bacon.
I do have a few recipes but they don't look like the ones I had. If these were smoked, would that over cook the shrimp?
Thanks.
 
We cook bacon wrapped duck bites frequently this time of year. I precook the bacon in the microwave for 2 minutes and then wrap them so the duck doesn't overcook while we wait on the bacon to get crispy. Could be an option for shrimp.

Are these cooked on a grill (smoked) or oven. I will try something like this. Thanks
 
This one seems to cover it pretty well

This video looks like some tasty bites

That just about does it. Maybe the Mexican resturant deep fried them. (Bacon was all brown or tan color). I will try your method. Thanks
