Bacon Wrapped Smoked Shrimp
Description
The Country Bob Boys are gearing up for the big game. So we figured we would cook a couple appetizers for our guys here at the plant.
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Pre-Cook the Bacon
We highly recommend pre-cooking the bacon. The shrimp cook so quickly that the bacon doesn’t have time to get crispy in the smoker. Cook bacon for about 5 minutes in the oven at 375°F. Then cut in half or thirds.
-
Wrap the Shrimp
Take a slice of pre-cooked bacon and wrap shrimp. Secure with a toothpick or skewer, that’s all there is to it. Don't forget to dust them with brown sugar and Country Bob's Seasoning Salt.
-
Prepare the Smoker
Fire up pellet grill or smoker and get it up to 225°F using your favorite type of wood/pellets. Today we used 100% pure apple wood pellets from Smokin' Brothers. Or you can set up your grill (gas or charcoal) to cook indirect.
-
Smoke the Shrimp
Once the smoker is maintaining a steady temperature, it is ready for the shrimp.
-
Check for Doneness
At the 30-minute mark check for doneness and at this time brush on your Country Bob's Original Barbecue Sauce. Most shrimp will turn pinkish when they are done and this is a good indicator, but you do not want to overcook shrimp or they will get rubbery. Shrimp should be near perfect in 35 minutes at 225°F.
