To prepare the shrimp, rinse them thoroughly and pat them dry. Then, dredge them in seasoned flour and let them rest for a few minutes before frying.
When frying, it is important to use oil that is hot enough so that the shrimp is crisp. If the oil is too cool, the shrimp will be mushy.
You can use any size of shrimp, but jumbo shrimp are the best choice. They cook faster and are more crispy.
This recipe will make about 4 servings, so you can enjoy it as a main dish or appetizer. If you are using frozen shrimp, thaw them in the refrigerator before cooking. This will help the sauce to thicken up and coat the shrimp properly.

Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp with Pineapple
Bacon-wrapped shrimp are always a hit with guests, especially if paired with a sweet and spicy sauce. The perfect appetizer for a game night, party or holiday celebration.
For this recipe, partially cook the bacon in a microwave oven before wrapping it around the pineapple and shrimp and threading them onto skewers for grilling. The precooking helps the bacon crisp up faster on the grill.
To assemble the skewers, place a piece of pineapple in the curve of each shrimp and wrap a slice of bacon around the pineapple and shrimp. Secure the bacon with a toothpick. Repeat for all of the shrimp and pineapple.
Once all of the shrimp and pineapple are wrapped, thread them onto double skewers. Brush both sides of the skewers with the teriyaki mixture and place on the grill to cook 6-8 minutes or until the bacon is crisp and the shrimp are cooked through, turning occasionally.
Serve these sweet and savory kabobs as an appetizer or over rice for a meal. For a snack tray, they don’t require any accompaniment, but for a more substantial dinner, they pair well with some chipotle sweet potato fries and a leafy salad.

Stuffed Mushrooms
Stuffed mushrooms are a great appetizer to make at your next party. They’re easy to prepare and can be made in advance and reheated the next day. They’re stuffed with a mixture of cream cheese, mayonnaise, spinach, and Parmesan cheese. Top them with bread crumbs and bake until they’re juicy and golden.
You can make a variety of fillings for these tasty appetizers, including chicken or turkey sausage, ham, clams, crabmeat, and more. You can also try a shrimp-stuffed version that’s perfect for summer barbecues!
The best stuffed mushrooms are big enough that they’ll hold plenty of filling, but not so large that they get overcrowded. Use the biggest cremini mushrooms you can find, which will also make them easier to stuff and cook.
Before stuffing the mushrooms, clean them without breaking them apart or ruining their skin. You can do this by using a slightly damp paper towel to brush off any visible dirt, or you can just use your hand and gently work the mushroom cap out of the cavity.
To make the stuffing, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, spinach, Parmesan cheese, dried tarragon and lemon juice in a medium bowl. You can add some fresh tarragon or scallions for an extra kick of flavor.
When you’re ready to fill the mushrooms, spoon about 1 teaspoon of the stuffing into each mushroom cap. Some of the stuffing will tumble off, which is perfectly fine!
Once the mushrooms are stuffed, place them on a baking sheet with sides. The moisture from the mushrooms will evaporate more readily from a rimmed baking sheet than a high-sided dish, which will help the stuffed mushrooms brown more easily.
