The Shrimp Brochette Was A Big Hit!

WudEyeDoo · February 2002

I offered to bring the appetizer to my neighbors Super Bowl party and decided to try shrimp brochette. I borrowed heavily from previous posts found in the archives on shrimp.[p]The shrimp was to be stuffed with a small slice of Jalapeno and pepper jack cheese and then wrapped in bacon for grilling.[p]I used one pound of shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails on. It was about 30 count. I would recommend larger shrimp for this next time but it worked out ok. For the marinade, I used J. Appledog's Barking Shrimp recipe (thanks Julie). Marinade about an hour.[p]I cut fresh jalapeno into thin, long slices (no seeds) and did the same with pepper jack cheese. Then I pre-cooked the bacon about 2/3 done. To stuff the shrimp, I made a cut all along the back of each shrimp. I put one slice each of the jalapeno and cheese in the cut and used a half slice of bacon to wrap the shrimp. Hold it together with a toothpick. Now it's ready for the BGE.[p]Got temp to 400 degrees, maybe even higher. I used the "fish grid". Cooked about 2 minutes each side. Next time, might try it at 375 temp instead because it cooked almost faster than I could get them all turned. Anyway, they turned out great. The bacon was crisp and the shrimp was bursting with flavor.[p]Like I said, this cook was the result of several previous posts by others: Thanks! Since the people who ate it kept asking for my "recipe", I thought I would share the results with you.[p]Bob[p]

WudEyeDoo,[p]That sounds delicious. I've been wanting to cook shrimp on the grill ever since I saw the BGE video. Can you give me the recipe for J. Appledog's Barking Shrimp recipe? And also, did you cook it direct in the fish grid?

DavidR,
Here is Mrs. Dog's Barking Shrimp recipe:[p]1 lb. shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 tbsp. Mrs. Dog's Jamaican Jerk Marinade or Mrs. Dog's Dangerously Hot Pepper Sauce
A big squeeze of lime juice
A splash of dark rum[p]Mix and marinade up to one hour
grill, using direct heat or saute in a little butter or oil until pink and curled.[p]I did grill it direct, by the way.
