ABT'S for Super Bowl. Need help

millernc

I just got a BGE for Christmas. So I am at best a novice. I gonna try to cook some ABT's. So far this forum has helped me out beyond belief! Thanks! I am looking for a good recipe and fool proof instructions for ABT's.

ShadowNick

By far the best results I've had with ABT's

I think the best are the simplest. Split the jalapeno, stuff with regular cream cheese, butterfly and half cook Chorizo sausage and split to top the cream cheese and wrap with room temp bacon, top with a rub if you like. No toothpicks needed.

Made these... they were outstanding and seemed to be a little easier to prep than the ABTs

@hapster oh wow, those rattlesnake tails look awesome...

ShadowNik's video mentions use gloves....that is a must! Made the mistake of not using them when I cleaned out 20 jalapenos for my first ABT's. Ouch!! I use latex, works great.

+1 on don't forget the gloves.  

Griffin's blog post shadownick referenced pretty much has the method covered.  I usually just use some Jimmy Dean sausage.  I like the maple flavor...gives it some sweet to match the heat. 

Griffin

Very important DON'T forget the gloves. You don't want certain apendages to burn later on. You thinnk after forgetting the gloves once you would never make that mistake again...but you will.

Wow these look good how hot are those peppers?

hapster

Are they hotter than a jalapeno? where do they fit in the food chain and would they be any good with said jalapeno, too mild or too hot!

Less hot than a jalepeno.  Anaheims are pretty low on the pepper scale.

Griffin

Anaheims are pretty tame, but also much bigger than jalapenos. I've done them a time or two before. If you are really brave (or stupid), make some with habanero peppers. I've done that ONCE. Only ONCE and never again. Hell, I'm not even really sure why I decided to grow them that year.

Cream and cheddar cheese and a large shrimp. For a rememorable super bowl shave your nether region and don't use the gloves. .

+1 on the shrimp. -1 on the nether region. I like a piece of pineapple as well. I had best luck with shrimp that were previously frozen and only about half thawed so they didn't over cook while everything else came together. Plan lots of prep time. These seems to take me a good amount of time to clean, fill, wrap etc.

I do shrimp with gruyere and cream cheese and pineapple tidbits.

This forum went through a trend of chicken ABTs - those are great too.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I will give it a try and definitely wear latex gloves
