BBQ Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Shrimp

Ingredients
30 10-ct Gulf shrimp - BIGGER is better!
1 jar horseradish, course
1 c Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 c Asiago cheese
1 jar BBQ sauce
2 pound(s) bacon

Directions
Peel and de-vein shrimp. Soak round toothpicks in water. Split shrimp down the outside, being careful not to cut all the way through. Combine cheeses in small bowl. Stuff split with horseradish, then cheese. Wrap shrimp with bacon and secure with toothpick. Grill and baste with BBQ sauce until bacon is done. Do not overcook.

Tip: If smaller shrimp are used, half bacon length-wise and pre-cook slightly to prevent the shrimp from becoming over-cooked.

Stuffed shrimp with bacon

Categories: Appetizers Usenet
Yield: 2 servings

12 lg Shrimp (the larger the better)
1 lb Mozzarella (low-moisture)
1 lb Bacon (as little fat as possible)

Steam shrimp lightly, just about 30-60 seconds after they begin to turn orange. Plunge shrimp into ice water to cool. Do this immediately. Peel and butterfly the shrimp. Cut the mozzarella into strips that are a little smaller than the shrimp. Put mozzarella in shrimp and (this is important) roll shrimp from tail to head while it is open (butterflied). This keeps the cheese from leaking. Wrap shrimp-cheese roll in 1/2 slice of bacon and put on skewer. Cook on grill or barbecue, over moderate heat, until bacon looks done. When shrimp are butterflied, cut them almost all the way through so they can lay flat when open. This makes them easier to roll. The fire will flare up due to bacon fat. Turn the skewers often to cook evenly. The bacon should be slightly charred when done. The reason why the shrimp are cooked lightly first is that they tend to cook slower than the bacon.

These are wonderful...

I have made these a few times- yummy!

Wrap shrimp in prosciutto. Put on skewers. Grill basting with a sauce of melted butter (1 stick UNSALTED) and the juice of a lemon. Delicious!!

 
Nice recipes Andrea. The last one is simple enough to make when grandson visits in 3 weeks.
