Shrimp ABTs (several pics)

NecessaryIndulg · January 14

I've been wanting to make these and finally did for the late game last night.

I tossed the shrimp with Tobago Keys Peruvian Gold Grilling Sauce and mixed softened goat cheese with minced garlic, salt & pepper.
I didn't want to overcook the shrimp trying to get the bacon crisp, so I decided to go "low & slow" -- I cooked them indirect between ~250-275F for about 45 min. I also glazed them with the grilling sauce at the very end.

All of the pics are HERE.

I always put shrimp in mine...yummy. Wonder how scallops or crawfish would be?

Kristi those look great, whats the flavor of the grilling sauce?

Mickey · January 14

Very nice girl.

NecessaryIndulg · January 14

Thanks, @SmokinDAWG82! It's a mustard based sauce with a tiny bit of heat. It has been good on everything I've put it on so far -- shrimp, fish, scallops, chicken, & pork. :)

Great Idea with the shrimp and goat cheese. Have you ever found a good substitute for bacon on your ABT's? I know....there is no substitute for bacon, but I do always look for more heart friendly substitutes.

@rustypotts -- I wonder if zucchini sliced thin & lengthwise would work?

Thats a great idea. And I could soak the zucchini in bacon grease first! Well seriously that is a good idea. I hadn't thought of using a vegetable.

@rustypotts - I've tried thin sliced prosciutto as a somewhat healthier alternative but I didn't care for it too much

Very nice! I do raw shrimp with a mix of cream cheese, gruyere, diced pineapple and hot sauce. They always go quick.

I'm thinking about thin sliced Parsnips and thin a narrow band of prosciutto around that. I picked up some sliced prosciutto at the store the other day and the lady sliced it a little too thick so I need to do something with it.

Man, that sounds solid. Might hit that this weekend.

Oh hellz yea! That is happening next weekend when I am back home!!!

Looks great!

It appears the shrimp were pre cooked. I would think they would get over done before the bacon cooked, but they look great.

caliking · January 15

Those ABT's look phenomenal. I would have never thought that shrimp could be lo n slo'd - don't they get tough? Maybe I'll have to try these and find out for myself. Thanks for sharing.

NecessaryIndulg · January 15

Thanks y'all. This was my favorite ABT concoction so far.

@Optiontrader -- I didn't precook the shrimp.
@caliking -- Thankfully the shrimp didn't dry out -- they were juicy and smoky. I was surprised and very happy with the results. :)

Kristi is in Florida so she probably used pink shrimp. Most are used to white shrimp that turn pink when cooked. :-B

You're right, @chubbs -- They are Key West Pinks. :-bd

Guess I learned something being born and raised in the low country!!

That is a home-run...gotta give that a go for the Super Bowl. Thanks for sharing!

Looks great. Following you on Pinterest. Thanks for sharing.

Optiontrader · January 16

Thanks for the clarification. I learned something today. I've never seen pink shrimp.

CavemanCook · January 16

Skills NecessaryIndulg!! Looks like a great combination. Will try.

CGW1 · January 16

Wow Kristi those look great, I'll be making those for sure.

seadub · February 7

These look awesome and I will try for sure. I might even mix it up half shrimp and half scallop.

I've had really good luck using frozen shrimp and stuffing the ABTs with only partly thawed shrimp. Seems to slow the shrimp cooking while the bacon crisps. Everything finishes at the same time and the shrimp aren't tough. Also really love using small pineapple chunks instead of a protein in them. Sweet balances nicely with the heat.

jbates67 · February 23

You always have some great ideas on changing up home run cooks. Will be doing these soon for sure.

milesbrown4 · February 23

Thanks for this recipe! This is a bookmark for sure.

Howdy, Stranger!
