Bacon Bundled BBQ Shrimp Recipe

Monday, June 20th, 2011

This is a fantastic party recipe! The shrimp, bacon, and BBQ sauce combo makes it nearly impossible for anyone to believe that these are guilt-free in any way. Yet each one has less than 30 calories!

  • 16 large (not jumbo) raw shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails removed
  • 8 slices extra-lean turkey bacon, halved widthwise
  • 1/3 cup canned tomato sauce
  • 3 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar (not packed)
  • 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a small bowl, combine tomato sauce, ketchup, sugar, vinegar, and garlic powder until mixed well. Set aside. Lightly spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray. Take ½ slice bacon and coat it in the sauce. Wrap the sauce-covered bacon around a shrimp and place it, seam side down, on the baking sheet. Repeat with the rest of the bacon and shrimp. Give them a quick mist with nonstick spray. Bake in the oven until shrimp are cooked through and bacon is crispy, 10 to 15 minutes.

Feng Shui Wedding Gift Ideas

Monday, June 20th, 2011

If you’re tired of giving the same old wedding and bridal shower gifts, why not consider these wedding gift ideas inspired by Feng Shui?

  1. Anything in pairs — Giving two of something, from lamps to vases filled with flowers or candles in beautiful candle holders, helps create a sense of balance. The newlyweds can place the items on their respective nightstands for good Feng Shui, or place both items in the romance corner of their home or the master bedroom.
  2. Anything in red – Red, pink, rose and similar colors promote passion in a relationship, so anything red makes a good bridal shower gift, from red lingerie to red pillows.
  3. Anything made of ceramic or porcelain – Earth is the element associated with the romance trigram of the ba gua, so items representing this element will bring good luck to the couple. A pair of red ceramic objects — hearts, cranes or a symbol with significance to the bride and groom — would be the perfect Feng Shui wedding or bridal shower gift.
