Bacon Wrapped Crab Stuffed Shrimp

The bacon gives the crab meat and shrimp just enough smokiness that you do not miss the grill flavor. The grill is a little harsh and totally masks the flavor. Of course, you could totally give it a shot, it’s only our opinion and everyone is entitled to their own, right?We used to get stuffed shrimp from a seafood shop called Frog Island Seafood down in Barco, NC.  If you have ever driven down to the Outer Banks, more than likely you have passed by this place.

David and I use to clean cottages down at Corolla, NC ions ago when we lived in Virginia Beach. During the summer, we worked our regular full-time jobs all week and on Saturdays and Sundays traveled down to the Outer Banks to clean cottage to earn extra income. We passed right by Frog Island Seafood every time we went down and after smelling the salty air all day at the beach, we always craved seafood. We stopped into Frog Island Seafood often. Each time we picked up some of these delicious stuffed shrimp as a treat for our hard work because I am here to tell you working 40-hours a week and then commuting an hour (one way) to clean cottages, while other people vacationed all summer was for the damn birds! Anyway, this bacon wrapped crab stuffed shrimp were a great take away from all those memories of cleaning cottages during the summer.
