BACON WRAPPED SHRIMP

TRAEGER BACON-WRAPPED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Preheat your Traeger according to factory directions to 350°.
• Remove the shells and tails from the shrimp, and set on paper towels. You want to make sure the shrimp is relatively dry before wrapping with the bacon for the best results.
• Sprinkle the shrimp with the salt and garlic powder.
• Wrap with a section of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
• Place on a baking rack that's been sprayed with cooking spray.
• Cook for 10 minutes, flip the shrimp over, and then cook for another 10 minutes.
• If the bacon isn't crips enough you can cook for another 5 minutes, but I wouldn't go much over that or you will probably end up with overcooked shrimp.
• Remove from the grill and enjoy!

Steps:

• Rinse the shrimp under cold running water and dry thoroughly on paper towels.
• Transfer to a resealable bag or a bowl.
• For the Marinade: Combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, salt, pepper and parsley in a small jar with a tight-fitting lid, and shake vigorously until combined.
• Pour over the shrimp and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 400°F and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes.
• Lay the bacon strips diagonally on the grill grate and grill for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the bacon is partially cooked but still very pliable.
• Cut each strip in half width-wise. Leave the grill on.
• Drain the shrimp, discarding the marinade.
• Wrap a strip of bacon around the body of each shrimp, securing with a toothpick.
• Grill for 4 minutes per side, turning once. Serve over cheesy grits, if desired. Enjoy!
