CARIBEAN STYLE SHRIMP 
(A microwave dinner ready in a few minutes).

12 Jumbo shrimp
6 strips bacon
1/4 clove garlic or 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
4 tsp. butter
Salt and pepper to taste

Cut the bacon into short strips long enough to wrap around the center of each shrimp. Wrap each shrimp around the middle with a piece of bacon. Place on a microwavable tray on at least 3 layers of paper towels and cover with the same amount. Microwave on High for 7-10 minutes, until the bacon is well cooked. Allow to sit for 2 minutes prior to removing from the tray.

Melt the butter and add the garlic, salt, and pepper. The mixture can either be poured over the shrimp prior to serving or used as a side dish for dipping. Serves 2.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
