Grilled Bacon-Wrapped Gulf Shrimp - Casa M Spice Co

Grilled Bacon-Wrapped Gulf Shrimp

INGREDIENTS:

FOR THE SHRIMP:

  • 2 pounds jumbo shrimp (about 20 shrimp per pound of bacon)
  • 1 pound bacon strips, cut in half (about 20 total pieces)
  • 1 teaspoon Casa M Spice Co® Chain Reaction®
  • 2 teaspoons Casa M Spice Co® Uncontrolled Hooked®

SPECIAL EQUIPMENT:

  • 20 bamboo skewers soaked in water, or
  • Grill Beast Beast Impalerz®

LET’S GET COOKING:

  1. Preheat your grill to high heat. As high as it goes...
  2. Clean, devein, and peel your shrimp.
  3. Place your shrimp into a large bowl and add the Chain Reaction® (to taste) and Hooked®.
  4. Using your hands, mix the shrimp to evenly distribute the seasonings.
  5. Compress each shrimp and wrap with bacon in a way such that you can skewer it tightly keeping the bacon and shrimp as tight as possible.
  6. Once all shrimp are skewered, put them on the grill over direct heat.
  7. Close the lid, but watch closely, these will cook quickly. Monitor both the shrimp and bacon. The bacon should be cooked through and the shrimp should be evenly orange. Flip the skewer(s) to keep cooking of both the bacon and shrimp even.
  8. Once finished (on our grill it took about 3 minutes per side), place skewers carefully on a platter and let sit to cool.
  9. Remove from skewers and be prepared for them to disappear in a blur of activity!
