Barbecued shrimp

 Barbecued shrimp

 Ingredients:

• 3 slices bacon, chopped
• 1/2 lb. margarine
• 2 tbsp. Dijon style mustard
• 1 1/2 tsp. chili powder
• 1/4 tsp. basil
• 1/4 tsp. thyme
• 1 tsp. coarse black pepper
• 1/2 tsp. oregano
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 2 tbsp. crab boil
• 1/2 tsp. Tabasco sauce
• 1 1/2 lb. lg. shrimp, with shells

Directions: 
 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  In a small frying pan fry bacon until clear; add margarine and all other ingredients except the shrimp.  Simmer for 5 minutes.  Place the shrimp in an open baking dish, and pour sauce over the top.  Stir once to coat all the shrimp.  Bake in an uncovered dish for 20 minutes, stirring twice during the baking process.   Serve hot and at once!  You may peel these shrimp before eating, but not before cooking.  Have a towel ready for each guest, for this most delicious dish is very messy!!
