Camarones Norteños Ingredients

Method

Camarones Norteños Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add the salt and rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until rice is tender. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Season shrimp with black pepper. Wrap each shrimp with a slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Brush the shrimp with olive oil.

  3. 3

    Grill the Shrimp

    Place the bacon-wrapped shrimp on the grill. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are opaque and the bacon is crispy.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Garlic Bread

    In a small bowl, mix softened butter with minced garlic. Spread the mixture on one side of each slice of crusty bread. Toast on the grill until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the grilled shrimp on a plate with a side of rice and garlic bread. Garnish with chopped parsley.
