The Set-up
Jumbo, uncooked, peeled and deveined shrimp (As many as you want to scarf down)
Thick sliced bacon, we recommend butcher cut bacon (Half a slice of bacon per shrimp)
Olive oil or melted butter (Man B Que men prefer butter because…we do, dammit!)
Maple syrup (REAL maple syrup, none of the added sugar liquid)
Old Bay Seasoning (Don’t settle for imitation Old Bay)
DIRECTIONS
1. Lightly brush olive oil or butter onto both sides of the shrimp
2. Thoroughly cover each shrimp with the Old Bay
3. Wrap the shrimp in half a slice of bacon and place on a pre-soaked skewer. (Soak skewers in water for about half hour before using so they don’t catch fire while on the grill)
4. Place shrimp on the outside of the grill (charcoal grills work best, if using gas place them on the top rack, if you don’t have a rack, just make sure they aren’t directly over the flame)
5.Cook shrimp on preheated grill for 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until opaque
6. When the shrimp and bacon are cooked, brush on a light layer of maple syrup to both sides and place on the grill for an extra 30 seconds
Eat and enjoy, MAN B QUE!
