Cheese Stuffed & Bacon-Crusted Shrimp with Wheat Ale | Radd Cooking
The very first recipe from the Radd Cooking sponsored by Missoula Fresh Market, and we crush it with giant shrimp stuffed with cheese and wrapped in delicious bacon. Is there any better than shrimp and bacon (the quick answer is nope)? This recipe created a savory and spicy seafood dish that is sure to bring a smile to face.
