Spicy BBQ Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp

  • Level: Easy
  • Yield: 4 to 6 servings
  • Total: 30 min
  • Active: 25 min
When talking surf and turf, the first thing that comes to mind is probably steak and lobster, but my favorite version is crispy bacon wrapped around tender shrimp. I love everything spicy, so I put these shrimp in a sriracha marinade that gives them a nice kick and great flavor.

Ingredients

2 cups barbecue sauce, such as Guy Fieri Kansas City Barbeque Sauce

1/4 cup sriracha

1 tablespoon canola oil

1 tablespoon honey

1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

1 1/2 teaspoons oyster sauce

1 teaspoon granulated garlic

1 pound 21/25 shrimp, peeled and deveined, tail shell left on

1 pound thick-cut applewood-smoked bacon

Zest of 1 lemon

Directions

Special equipment:
Metal skewers, pasty brush
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Preheat a grill to medium high.
  2. Mix together the barbecue sauce, sriracha, oil, honey, mustard, oyster sauce and granulated garlic in a medium bowl. Add the shrimp and set aside.
  3. Lay the bacon on a sheet pan and bake until it is partially cooked, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer the bacon to paper towels. Remove the shrimp from the marinade, shaking off excess; reserve the marinade for basting the shrimp.
  4. Wrap the bacon around the shrimp, making sure both ends of the bacon meet back together.
  5. Thread the shrimp diagonally on metal skewers, ensuring that the skewers go through both ends of the bacon and putting 4 to 5 shrimp on each skewer. Grill until the shrimp are cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes, rotating the skewers for even cooking and basting with the reserved marinade.
  6. Remove the shrimp from the grill and slide them off the skewers. Serve garnished with lemon zest.
