Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, chopped cucumber, garlic salt and dill; set aside.

Cut each bacon strip in half widthwise and then lengthwise. Wrap a piece of bacon around each shrimp. Secure with toothpicks.

In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook shrimp in batches over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until bacon is crisp.

Spoon a rounded 1/2 teaspoon yogurt sauce onto each cucumber slice; top with shrimp.
