Horseradish Shrimp
"I resurrected an old appetizer recipe today that I hadn't used in several years. I used to make these frequently when we had our back yard barbecues. Well, hubby and friends gave them rave reviews! I guess they are back on the "official barbecue menue" at our house. (I usually double the recipe because they do go fast!) Prep time does not include 2 hour refrigeration time."

My family preferred the shrimp sans tails so that is how I prepared them. They loved them, actually ended up making them the following weekend as well. -
Made for Super Bowl Party and they were gone in a flash. Took a lot of work and most of the horseradish leaked out. I had to broil them as could not get the grill started. Did not use the baste so can’t comment on that. Will make again this summer if I have time to fuss. -
Wow-wow-Wow! So easy to put together-I used x-hot creamy horseradish & double smoked applewood bacon. Will I make this again? You bet I will! As I type this my husband is going on and on and on about how good they were!!! Thankyou so much for posting! -
Whoa, the kick from the horseradish really was a hit with my crowd that likes things hot! Another great way with shrimp! -
I make these all the time. Add chopped jalapeños with the horseradish I wrap them in the morning and put them in the fridge for a few hours and deep fry for 2-3 minutes in peanut oil.
