Go buy a 6 pack per person ;D
Get some fresh big shrimp.
Like a pound of 21-26's or 16-20's are even better !
The numbers are the number of shrimp per pound, so 16-20 is between 16 and 20 shrimp will make a pound... anyway...
This also works with boneless chicken breast cut into nuggets.
It might work with scallops too but I have never eaten them so... your on your own to experiment with fish or rattlesnake or gators or whatever. Steak nuggets are good too !
Sausage might be overkill.
The find some good thick sliced meaty bacon.
You have to turn the boxes over and look at the bottom back side of the slices to see. The red part is the meat and the white is the fat... you want mostly meat and its hard to find a good package.
The meat companies like to hide the good bacon from you so its like a quest.
Go clean and start your BBQ fire, if you use charcoal it can take a while to get it going good. So light it and keep an eye on it while you work on the rest. Try not to use all mesquite charcoal. Mesquite burns very hot naturally and this fire doesnt need more heat. Propane Gas grills add no smoke flavor so dont use it. Dont wear loose, flamable clothes. MAKE SURE THE BBQ IS OUT IN THE YARD A GOOD DISTANCE FROM ANYTHING FLAMABLE. ;D but still in range of the garden hose.
Open and drink your first beer, AFTER you have the fire started !
Peel and wash your shrimp, devain and butterfly if you like all that hassle.
Then take a slice of awesome bacon and spiral wrap each shrimp.
Put each wrapped shrimp on a metal skewer.
NO SALT !! The shrimp and bacon are naturally loaded with salt.
Spice as you like, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cajun spice mix like Zaterans or Tony Chacheries or however you spell it. whatever you like.
Open and drink your second beer, AFTER you finish n the kitchen with the kitchen preparations.
Check the BBQ fire to see that its about medium heat.
If you can hold your hand over the grill about 3 inches away for about 8-10 seconds before its gets too hot, your probably at medium heat. Place about 5 of the skewers on the grill and get a good pair of tongs ready to start fliping. Have a fresh cold beer open and ready (your 3rd beer) and a clean plate ready to collect the ones that are done. You have to prepare everything before the fire starts its thing. Once the bacon fat starts to melt, your neighbors will think you have a bon fire going ! You might want a water squirt bottle on hand, pour some beer on the flares, a long oven mitt and maybe a good garden hose nearby just in case you have been skipping ahead on your beer count. ;D
Turn each of those skewers over about every 8-10 seconds once the fire starts to flare up. Its gonna be HOT, fast and furious but its worth it in the end. Only put a few skewers out at a time till you get used to the pace and heat of the fire. Wait for the fire to cool down to medium between rounds of new skewers.
And if all else fails, and it looks like your losing control of the fire, cover the bbq fire snuggly with the BBQ lid, shut all the vents with the tongs or long metal pole and call 911.
The key is to wait between rounds of adding new skewers so the fire fades a little back to medium heat.
IF successful, open your remaining beer ( or have someone else who is not drunk go buy some more) and enjoy ! ;D
