Categories     appetizer

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

16 (10-inch) wooden skewers
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
1 small jalapeno, seeded and chopped
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 (1-inch) piece ginger, grated
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup orange juice
1 cup ketchup
16 colossal shrimp, shelled with tail on, deveined (about 1 1/4 pounds)
4 slices bacon

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right shrimp. Large shrimp (21-25 count per pound) work best for this recipe. Make sure they are peeled and deveined.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery.
  • Use high-quality bacon. Thick-cut bacon will hold up better on the grill and provide more flavor.
  • Cook the bacon until it is crispy. This will help to prevent it from shrinking and becoming tough.
  • Make sure the grits are cooked through. Grits should be cooked until they are creamy and smooth, with no crunchy bits.
  • Season the grits to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Serve the shrimp and grits immediately. This dish is best enjoyed hot and fresh out of the pan.
