Bacon Wrapped Prawns With Chipotle Bbq Sauce Food

BACON WRAPPED BARBEQUE SHRIMP

Steps:

• Wrap shrimp with 1/2 slice of bacon, securing with a toothpick. Be sure and use the large shrimp--the cooking time for the shrimp and the bacon is similar. If you use medium-sized shrimp, you might want to precook the bacon a little--over cooked shrimp are tough and rubbery--and a real shame.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Line a jelly roll pan with extra heavy duty foil, and place baking rack in the pan. Place the shrimp on the rack, and sprinkle heavily with the barbecue seasoning. Turn and sprinkle second side. Set aside for 15 minutes. The bacon will turn from creamy white to a little opaque, and the seasonings will soak in.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bacon is crisp and shrimp are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. The rack keeps the shrimp from sitting in the draining bacon fat. With a little luck, you won't tear the foil--you can throw that away and only have to scrub the rack.

BACON WRAPPED SHRIMP RECIPE

Steps:

• Pre heat the oven to 400 Degrees F (200 Degrees C).
• Arrange the bacon slices on the sheet in a single layer and bake for 10 minutes.
• Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the bacon cool down a bit.
• Mix the glaze ingredients in a bowl.
• Season the shrimps with salt and pepper and wrap half of the par cooked bacon slices over each shrimp.
• Secure the bacon over the shrimp using a toothpick.
• Arrange the prepared shrimps of the baking sheet and brush with some of the glaze.
• Bake the shrimps for 5 minutes.
• Then brush them again with the remaining glaze and bake for another 5-6 minutes until the bacon is crispy.
• Remove the shrimps from the oven and serve hot.

BACON-WRAPPED PRAWNS WITH CHIPOTLE BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• Soak the bamboo skewers in water, to keep from burning during grilling.
• Partially cook the bacon; cut in half, and let cool on paper towels. Wrap the bacon around the shrimp, and skewer with bamboo through the point where the bacon ends meet (to keep from unraveling). Skewer 3 to 5 shrimp per bamboo.
• Combine the BBQ sauce, oil, chipotle, lemon juice, mustard, chile flakes, black pepper and cayenne in a blender and puree. Separate the sauce in half, one for basting and one for dipping.
• Cook the bacon-wrapped shrimp on a grill over medium heat. When the shrimp begin to turn pink, begin basting with the chipotle sauce.
• Serve with the remaining sauce on the side for dipping.

EASY BACON WRAPPED PRAWNS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Wrap a slice of bacon around each large prawn.
• Secure bacon by skewering each shrimp and bacon slice through with a toothpick.
• Place in baking dish or on baking tray.
• Add cayenne or horseradish (or both) to taste to the BBQ sauce (you can substitute Tabasco, if you like - the point is for the sauce to have a little kick), then brush each shrimp/bacon with BBQ sauce. (Or you can dip each one in the sauce before putting it on the tray.)
• Bake in oven for about 20-25 minutes or until bacon is thoroughly cooked through - if the bacon isn't crisping as much as you'd like, try broiling it for the last 5 minutes, being careful to check that the sauce isn't burning and so on.

BACON-WRAPPED SHRIMP KABOBS WITH ORANGE-CHIPOTLE SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium-high heat.
• Mix first 3 ingredients until blended; set aside. Place bacon slices on microwaveable plate; cover with paper towel. Microwave on HIGH 4 min. or until partially cooked. (Bacon will be slightly limp.) Drain bacon; cool slightly.
• Thread 1 bacon slice and 3 shrimp onto each of 12 skewers, placing shrimp between folds of bacon.
• Reserve half the sauce. Grill kabobs 5 to 6 min. or until bacon and shrimp are done, brushing with remaining sauce for the last 2 min. Warm reserved sauce; serve with kabobs.

BACON-WRAPPED SHRIMP WITH CHIPOTLE BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Soak 5 to 8 bamboo skewers in water for about 20 minutes to keep them from burning on the grill or under the broiler.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large skillet until halfway done, about 4 minutes. Drain and cool on paper towels. Wrap a piece of bacon around the middle of each shrimp; skewer with bamboo through the point where the bacon ends meet to keep it from unraveling. Thread 3 to 5 shrimp on each bamboo skewer.
• Puree the barbecue sauce, oil, lemon juice, mustard, chipotles, red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper in a blender. Set aside half of the sauce for dipping.
• Preheat a grill, grill pan or broiler. Grill or broil shrimp (on a foil-lined baking sheet, if broiling) for 5 minutes, basting with the sauce once they begin to turn pink. Flip, baste again and grill or broil until just cooked through, about 4 more minutes. Serve with extra sauce.
