I like to have shrimp as an appetizer. It will even be better if it is wrapped in bacon. However, I felt that it can be elevated at least one level more by adding some sort of stuffing. Presenting this yummy Bacon Wrapped Shrimp with Cream Cheese Stuffing.
I think that this is perfect with a glass of Chardonnay. This is just wishful thinking though, but I enjoyed it with a cold glass of raspberry iced tea. To me, this shrimp appetizer is what envisioned in terms of taste. There is no salt involved. The bacon provides the salty flavor that blended well with the sweet and mild taste of the shrimp. The stuffing gave it that rich and somewhat spicy taste that I really loved.
If you want to have this as your main dish, it can be paired with salad. It can go well with couscous salad.
