Grilled Shrimp With Bacon And JalapeÑos Recipes

GRILLED JALAPENO BACON WRAPPED SHRIMP RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Bake bacon on racks in a cookie sheet for 10-12 minutes (if using Whole Foods bacon or thick bacon increase time by 5-10 minutes, checking every 5 minutes) until bacon is partially cooked but still not entirely done.
• Allow bacon to cool enough to touch.
• Meanwhile, cut jalapenos into matchstick pieces the length of the shrimp (be sure to discard seeds and membranes).
• Take shrimp and place jalapeno into the top ridge.
• Wrap bacon around both the shrimp and jalapeno and skewer. (We did 4 to a skewer so they wouldn't touch)
• Season skewers to taste with seasoning blend. You will have a fair amount left afterwards.
• Grill over medium heating until shrimp and bacon are both cooked. If bacon starts to char before shrimp are done, move to indirect heat.
• Serve.

Wrap 1 bacon slice half around 1 shrimp and 1 piece of jalapeño pepper. Secure with a wooden pick. Repeat procedure with remaining bacon slices, shrimp, and jalapeño pepper pieces.

GRILLED BBQ BACON SHRIMP

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium.
• Soak skewers in water while preparing the BBQ sauce. In a medium saucepan melt butter and saute onions and jalapeno, until tender. Season with cayenne, and salt and pepper. Add ginger, brown sugar, orange juice and ketchup in that order making sure to blend each ingredient completely before adding the next ingredient. Let simmer until the edges begin to caramelize, about 15 minutes. Set aside and let cool. Once cool, remove half of the sauce and reserve for dipping. The other half is for brushing on the shrimp when grilling. Cut bacon in thirds. Thread each shrimp onto a skewer, starting from the tail end. Bend the shrimp as you thread it so it lies in 1 straight line on the skewer, removing its natural curve. Wrap the center of each shrimp with a piece of bacon. Brush with BBQ sauce and place skewers with bacon, seam side down, onto the grill. Cook over medium heat until bacon crisps and shrimp is cooked through, about 8 minutes.

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH BACON, TOMATO AND SCALLION VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Put the bacon in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crisp and the fat is rendered.
• When the bacon is just about done, heat the canola oil in a nonreactive skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tomatoes and salt and pepper and cook, stirring, just until slightly softened. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to the skillet with the tomatoes and add the cilantro, vinegar, thyme and green onions. Cook, stirring, until heated through, about 5 minutes. Set aside; keep warm.
• Heat a charcoal or gas grill to high for direct grilling.
• Brush the shrimp with canola oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Using two skewers at a time, thread four shrimp on the skewers near the tail and head ends--this makes it easier to flip the shrimp on the grill. Grill until slightly charred and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side.
• Remove the shrimp from the skewers and top with the warm vinaigrette.
