Let me tell you a story about these barbecue shrimp. Shortly before spring break our junior year at Carroll College, my husband proposed over a picnic with Chinese food in my dorm room (we had a freak snow storm that day so the outdoor picnic he’d planned was a bust, but that’s a story for another day). I said yes, I guess you probably gathered that, and so we headed to Florida for spring break so that I could meet his dad. We spent a few fun filled days at Disney World, and then headed to the beaches of St. Pete’s Beach to spend some time with his dad and grandfather. What a beautiful place! The ocean was spectacular, but I wasn’t daring enough to step into the water because the stingrays were spawning and there were beware signs posted all over. In the early morning the water looked like it was boiling from all the stingrays moving around. I’m just not that brave. One night his dad had us over for dinner. He made the most amazing shrimp from a local fish market that I have ever eaten. EVER. I think about those shrimp often. They were skewers of bacon wrapped barbecued shrimp. If I didn’t already love that man, those shrimp may have totally sealed the deal for him. July first marks our 13th anniversary, so I thought it was about time I recreated those dang shrimp. After all, that’s a long time to be haunted by anything, much less Bacon Wrapped Shrimp.

Bacon Wrapped Barbecue Shrimp
Author: Jasey's Crazy Daisy
Ingredients
  • 1 bag Jumbo 13-15 count Shrimp, cleaned and shelled
  • 1 lb. Hormel Black Label Bacon
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups ketchup Heinz is truly my favorite
  • 1/2 cup white wine vinegar or cider vinegar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper more or less to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce more or less to taste
  • skewers if wooden soaked in water for 30 minutes
Instructions
  1. In a blender, combine brown sugar through hot pepper sauce. Blend until smooth. Place half of the sauce in a Ziploc bag, reserving the other half as a serving sauce. Place shrimp in bag and gently toss to coat. Cut bacon slices in half. Wrap each shrimp with a half of slice of bacon and thread onto skewer. Over medium heat, grill shrimp, making sure to flip sides, until cooked through. Serve with reserved sauce. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes

I like Hormel Black Label Bacon for this recipe because it is sliced pretty uniform and on the thinner side. It usually has less fat which I also like since I am cutting the slices in half and don't like wrapping shrimp with pure fat that I might end up with other brands of bacon. When using this bacon, I don't have to worry about cooking it before wrapping the shrimp because it always ends up chewy and perfect. If you use a thicker bacon or are worried about you bacon being done enough, cook it using your preferred method until it's about half way done. The other thing I like about using this bacon is that it works out just about perfectly - when I cut it the slices into half, I have just enough to wrap my shrimp.

    This looks great. What do I do with the Brown Sugar? Does it go into the BBQ Sauce? I see: In a blender, combine ketchup through hot pepper sauce. Blend until smooth. I know BBQ Sauce usually has Brown Sugar, but I figured it might go on the bacon so can you please confirm. I would love to make these!
