So, whether or not you’re a fan of the teams that are playing in the big game, you could be a fan of this dish. It’s a bacon wrapped shrimp with a chipotle barbecue sauce and starts up with these bad boys right here. It’s a nice slices of bacon, I mean everybody is a fun of that, right? So, what happens is we’re taking this bacon cooking a little bit, wrap it around the shrimp. Double secure it, throw it on the grill and baste with some of that dynamite chipotle barbecue sauce on point.
Okay now, we’re going to start with this chipotle barbecue sauce that I was telling you out of the beginning. So, we get a little bit of your favorite barbecue sauce. Now, when it’s overly flavored, a little bit of oil, Dijon mustard here, a little bit of lemon juice, a little bit of chipotle pepper that’s in adobo sauce which is kind of like a tomato vinegary sauce so it’s not a dry chipotle, a little bit of cayenne pepper and a little red chili flake for a little bit of heat. All right, we will taste, make sure it’s right. A little bit of spice coming through there. A little bit of heat from that chipotle, it’s great on the shrimp.
So, let’s talk about the shrimp. So, I cooked the bacon just a little bit, it’s friable, wrap it around the shrimp then this is the big piece. Soak the bamboo skewers and some water so they don’t burn up when they’re on the grill. One skewer through the shrimp, grab that other skewer, run it through the shrimp and this will keep those bad boys spinning around when we try to turn them on the grill.
Okay so now that the bacon is wrapped around the shrimp and double secured onto a hot grill, let them cook about 80% on the way then heat the barbecue sauce or whatever your basting it with so it doesn’t drip down to create the flares up and burn the food.
So, the girls always have their specialty and that’s this right here, the bacon wrapped sealed with chipotle barbecue sauce. The key here is having something nice to present them on because you know that’s what they’re always expecting. So, just hold it right on there for my wife Flory, ladies enjoyed.
