1 ¾ pounds extra-large shrimp (21 to 25 count to a pound), peeled and deveined

Salt and pepper to taste

4 tablespoons olive oil

20 to 22 strips of bacon, halved (do not use thick-cut bacon)

Soak 8- to 10-inch bamboo skewers in water for about 30 minutes before grilling.

Preheat coals for a medium-hot fire, or preheat a gas grill to medium high. Season shrimp with kosher salt and pepper to taste. Toss with olive oil to coat.

Wrap each shrimp snugly with a bacon half. Thread shrimp onto skewers (the skewers should keep the bacon in place, but if you prefer, you can secure the bacon to the shrimp with toothpicks before skewering).

Grill skewered shrimp over medium-hot coals for 3 or 4 minutes per side, or until firm, and cooked through. Makes 8 servings.
