What You’ll Need

16 slices Daily's® Premium bacon, cut in half

32 fresh or frozen large shrimp in shells

32 basil leaves, coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 to 1 cup bottled barbecue sauce

Directions

Thaw shrimp, if frozen. Remove shells from shrimp, leaving tails. Butterfly each shrimp by cutting a slit along its back; remove vein. Rinse shrimp and pat dry with paper towels. 

Combine basil, Parmesan cheese, and garlic in small bowl. 
Place basil mix inside shrimp. Leaving tail exposed, wrap each shrimp with half-slice of bacon, tucking in ends. 
Heat oven to 400 F. Place shrimp on baking sheet with tails pointing up. Bake until shrimp turn opaque, about 14 minutes. Drain on paper towels. 
Dip shrimp into barbecue sauce and place on grill until sauce caramelizes, or return to baking sheet and bake until sauce is caramelized, about 3 minutes.
