Anyone done them directly on the platesetter legs down?
I'm thinking of trying it. These are jumbo shrimp. 10 to 12 count. Peel them first? I want to do some bacon wrapped scallops at the same time. I will pre cook the bacon. How long and how hot should I go?

    IMHO shrimp generally grill better unpeeled, but you can also wrap them in bacon. Peel them if you go that way. A little DP Raging River to either will add another level of flavor.
    Hormel markets two kinds of microwave bacon. One is totally pre-cooked, heat and eat in 10secs or so. The other is partially cooked and package says cook for one or two minutes [I forget exactly]. If you can find this variety it is super for wrapping quick cooking items like shrimp and scallops B):)
    Be sure and give us a report on this experiment, pics too :cheer:

    Never have done them on the plate setter....
    But, love both shrimp and scallops on skewers on the grid, on the fire ring, at high temp.
    The scallops I do, often have a bacon wrap...And I baste both with a bourbon sauce to give a nice glaze.
    Let us know how "on the plate setter" works out!!

    Well.......not too bad. I overcooked it a bit, but not too badly. Put them on at about 350* for about 7or 8 minutes. I also should have used more oil. They tended to stick to the foil. I didn't take any pics. You didn't miss much. :)
