Servings: 6 servings
Equipment
- Skewers
Ingredients
- 1 pound bacon cut in half
- 1 ½ - 2 pounds shrimp raw, thawed, deveined, tail-on
Rub
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried mustard
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Optional: ¼ cup BBQ sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the grill for cooking over medium direct heat.
- Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium low heat until it is about halfway cooked, but still soft enough to wrap around shrimp. About 3 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, dried mustard, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper.
- Place the shrimp in a large bowl and sprinkle the dry rub over the shrimp. Toss until thoroughly combined.
- Carefully wrap each shrimp with bacon and thread onto a skewer, piercing through the bacon. Piercing once through the tail and once through the other side will keep them secure through cooking.
- Brush the grill with oil and grill the shrimp five inches from the coals for five minutes. Turn over and cook for an additional two minutes on the other side.
- Serve with dry rub or brush with BBQ sauce.
