Tired of turkey and ready for some shrimp. Was thinking about making some kabobs or bacon wrapped. Any suggestions?

Di, my favorite is Shrimp Lejon, here is a link to a post for it & a picture:

Another good way is to coat in olive oil, then just add salt, pepper, & hot pepper flakes:
Or wrap with a sage leaf & pancetta:
good luck, Marchappy in the hut

Wrap it in bacon dude! They look outrageous! Gimme some!

I agree with all of the above, best of all with wrapped in bacon and BBQ'ed. If wooden skewers soak in water for at least 30 min. Pre-cook bacon till light golden but still plenty flexible. I like to alternate shrimp wrapped in bacon with pieces of fresh pineapple and a maraschino cherry on the skewer. Sauce them and give them about 3 minutes a side on about a 350-400º grill till shrimp just cooked through. Yummmy!!!

Chris Lilly has a recipe for Barbecue Bacon Wrapped Shrimp with Basil Stuffing that is pretty good. I made them twice and would just recommend precooking the bacon just a little bit, maybe 1 minute in the microwave.
BARBECUE BACON-WRAPPED SHRIMP WITH BASIL STUFFING
Serves 6 (appetizer).
32 fresh or frozen large shrimp in shells
Basil Stuffing
32 basil leaves, coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
16 slices bacon, cut in half
3/4 to 1 cup bottled barbecue sauce
Cooking Directions
Thaw shrimp, if frozen. Remove shells from shrimp, leaving tails. Butterfly each shrimp by cutting a slit along its back; remove vein. Rinse shrimp and pat dry with paper towels.
For stuffing, combine basil, Parmesan cheese, and garlic in small bowl. Place stuffing in slits. Leaving tail exposed, wrap each shrimp with half-slice of bacon, tucking in ends.
Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Place shrimp on baking sheet with tails pointing up. Bake until shrimp turn opaque, about 14 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
Dip shrimp into barbecue sauce and place on grill until sauce caramelizes or return to baking sheet and bake until sauce is caramelized, about 3 minutes.
Serving Suggestions
Company coming? Don't just throw another shrimp on the barbe' ... fix these succulent shrimp appetizers that Chris Lilly, pitmaster at Big Bob Gibson's in Birmingham, Alabama, developed and sampled on the Today show.

A great finishing touch to any of the mentioned methods would to add a little shredded cheddar on top after the second flip for the last minute to let it melt.

Cool. Great pics on the link. Pizza looks awesome. Where did you get your pizza screens?

Picked those up many years ago down on 2nd Street in Philly, about a block north of Market Street, where all the restaurant supply stores are, they got a lot of use over the years in my oven, but when I switched to pizza on the egg, they are now used mainly to remove the finished pies off the stone & for transporting/cooling the pies before they hit the pie pan for slicing:

I leave them in the shell... you will get more way flavor and have less chance of overcooking them. Plus folks like to eat with their hands, and the peeling slows down the pace. My favorite way is to season with seasoned salt & pepper then put in a zipper bag. To this I add a lot (like 8 to 10 cloves to a pound of shrimp) of chopped garlic and a teaspoon of vinegar, then let marinate for an hour. They are good grilled or can be cooked in a cast iron skillet if you add a little oil. When they are done, you can toss with some melted butter and lemon juice, or peal and eat as-is. They don't have to be skewered, they can be cooked on the grate too.

Nice cook. More toys on the way.

That one was a triple skewer cook. It is amazing just how secure the food is on these. No spinning at all.Happy Trails~thirdeye~Barbecue is not rocket surgery -
Those are great skewers. Where can one purchase those?
Also curious about the grate in thirdeye's pics. Is that homemade? If so, from what? -
This as simple as it gets ,Marinate in Italian dressing ,only 15 min(Any longer the shrimp wiil cook) Rub w/Prudhommes Redfish seasoning,grill and sprinkle of lemon.
GOOD EATS AND GOOD FRIENDS

Di,
Richard would be the one to ask about the skewers, I got them through a trade with him. I can take a guess and say he got them down south....a lot farther south than one thinks. :laugh:
That mesh grate you asked about are called disposable grill toppers and I get them at WalMart. They come in round and square in packages of three. They are good for a lot of things like veggies, fatties, fish and even pizza, and despite the name, they can be re-used many times.Happy Trails~thirdeye~Barbecue is not rocket surgery -
Thanks for the tips. Found the mesh grates at our local Elliott's Hardware.
