New Appetizer Trial

A friend of ours, Suzi, invited us to her fab house for a holiday party this weekend. It was a chill party with about 10 friends. Suzi's kitchen is my dream kitchen! Her contemporary kitchen is huge with beautiful counter-tops, large island, a lot of storage space and double-set of stove top and oven. Her modern fridge is blended in with her cabinets. Before Jeff and I got married, Suzi also hosted a couple's shower for us.

For this holiday party, every person/couple would bring an appetizer or dessert. I wanted to try something new this time and found a easy recipe on www.foodnetwork.com! It is Rachel Ray's bacon wrapped shrimp (and/or scallops). We have some prawn left in our freezer, and I've been wanting to put them into good use.

This appetizer really is simple! First, you marinate the shrimp in sesame oil, lime juice, red pepper flakes, black pepper and salt. Then wrap a piece (about 1/3 of a bacon strip) of bacon around the shrimp. Put them in the oven for about 15 -16 minutes at 425 degrees. After it's done, sprinkle chopped green onion on top. It was quite a hit at the party!
