Bacon Wrapped Shrimp Kabobs With Orange Chipotle Sauce Food

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 PORK KEBABS

Steps:

• For the brine: Combine salt, sugar, bay leaves, thyme, and garlic in a pot with 2 cups water. Bring to a boil and once everything has dissolved remove from heat. Add ice cubes to cool down and set aside.
• For the pork: Place the pork cubes in the cooled brine and set in the fridge for 45 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the bacon into six 1/2-inch-thick slices, about 2 1/2-ounces each. Set a large pot of cold water over high heat and add the bacon slices. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the Italian seasoning, granulated garlic, paprika, salt and pepper. Drain pork from brine and pat dry with paper towels. Working with one skewer at a time, thread the bacon at one end followed by a piece of pork. Loop the bacon over the pork so it forms an "S" shape around the pork and continue to thread the bacon and pork together so each skewer has 4 pieces of pork and one thick strip of bacon on it. Sprinkle all with the seasoning mixture.
• Heat a grill to medium and wipe down grates with oil. Place pork kebabs across grill and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each of four sides until bacon is crisped around edges and pork is a tender medium. Once the pieces have been seared, glaze the kebabs with the Orange Honey Mustard.
• Heat the oil in a small saute pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add the shallots and saute until softened. Add the orange juice, honey and mustard, whisking to thoroughly combine. Bring to a simmer and reduce for 8 to 10 minutes. Stir well, remove from heat, and keep warm until ready to use.

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.

BACON-WRAPPED BBQ-SHRIMP KABOBS

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium heat.

GRILLED BACON WRAPPED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Combine butter and spices, add shrimp, stirring to coat the shrimp. Let shrimp marinate for 1 to 2 hours.
• Slice bacon in half and cook over medium high heat to render out some fat, keeping bacon flexible. Drain the bacon and pat grease out with a paper towel.
• Wrap each piece of shrimp with a piece of bacon. Slide on to skewers. If you use wooden skewers, the skewers need to be soaked in water for about 15 minute in water or use metal ones.
• Grill on a hot grill until shrimp are opaque. Use remainder of marinade when turning the shrimp.

GRILLED BBQ BACON WRAPPED SHRIMP KABOBS

Steps:

• Cut up the onion and peppers in large chunks approximately 1 inch squares or a little larger.
• Cut the bacon slices into thirds and slightly cook the bacon until it is softened but not crispy.
• (this could be done in the microwave) Wrap the shrimp in the bacon slices and assemble the Kabobs on the metal skewers starting with bacon wrapped shrimp, a chunk of red pepper, onion, mushroom cap, and green pepper then another bacon wrapped shrimp.
• fill the skewer.
• Place the Skewers on a preheated grill with slightly greased foil.
• As you are cooking the skewers, baste with the BBQ sauce on each side for approximately 7 to 10 minutes (depending on the temperature of your grill.) Enjoy!

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.
