Asian Persuasion Grilled Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp
Bacon-wrapped shrimp as a sweet little Asian dish for a pure light, quick evening cook. It's a lot like stir-fry except the only real difference is that I made it all on the grill. I used a store-bought sweet and sour sauce. A lot of these recipes, if not all, are from the end run of our day. So Texas Butter has to be able to make one bottle or scale to a hundred. One container might give us two ounces, or it could provide us with one depending on the blend. We save all of those leftovers (samples) for at least 48 hours. After 24 hours we recheck all the stability of the samples, record the numbers, trash, or save for our stash. So, what I'm getting at is I didn't have any Pepper Bee to apply to this, but sweet-n-sour sauce was lovely.

Step-by-step

    • Start your grill up to about 300 degrees.
    • Cut your bacon in half long ways.
    • Wrap short pieces of bacon one time around each shrimp just in the middle.
    • Pin in the bacon with a toothpick.
    • Sprinkle Sowflakes all over your bacon-wrapped shrimp.
    • Get a small saucepan to medium-low heat and place one tablespoon of butter in it.
    • Dump your dry half cup of rice, a dash of salt, and let the butter swirl around so that it coats the rice.
    • Pour 2 cups of water over rice and cover. Set timer for 12 minutes.
    • If you're using a grill basket for your pit, dump all your peppers and shrimp in it.
    • Place shrimp and peppers on the grill and cook until shrimp are not translucent.
    • The rice is done; put a spoonful on a dish and now your shrimp and peppers over the rice.
    • Take your favorite sweet and sour sauce and drizzle over all of it. This would also be good without sauce.
