what is up you guys it's susie from heygrillhey.com and today we are inside and we are going to whip
up some beautiful bacon-wrapped shrimp with a spicy peach glaze that is absolutely to die for
they're going to cook up in under 10 minutes and i just feel like there's a little bit of
something here for everybody i think you guys are going to love them as much as we do so let's do it
let's jump right into prepping our bacon wrapped shrimp you need two pounds of shrimp i like them
to have no shells be deveined but i do like to leave the tails on and i think it just makes a
really nice handle especially if you're serving these as appetizers you also need a pound of
bacon cut in half i like to stick right in the middle in terms of thickness on the bacon too thin
it burns up on the grill too thick and it stays a little bit too chewy and it doesn't really render
the fat out properly from there just grab one shrimp a half a piece of bacon and you're gonna
start at one end and wrap it around now i also like to secure these with toothpicks so that my
bacon doesn't flop around on the grill and it all cooks together just like so through the end
and then you just get to spend the next couple minutes wrapping shrimp
now it'll probably take you a few minutes to get them all
wrapped because i have the magic of television and friends helping me
it took me like a minute but once these guys are all wrapped go ahead and set them aside wash up
my hands and then i'm going to teach you guys how to make our spicy peach glaze it's yummy
this glaze is almost criminal with how easy it is and how delicious it is it's
something that you can use for this bacon wrap shrimp but it also works beautifully for
chicken you could put it on some ribs oh you just have to be strong enough to open your jam jars
all right you start with two cups of peach jam this is actually peach mango passion fruit and
you really can have a little bit of fun with the jam that you're using here if you wanted a spicy
raspberry glaze you could use raspberry jam or cherry jam i really like peach i think it's a
really great like sweet fruit flavor without being too sweet so two cups just right into your bowl
that looks that looks like about two cups i'm eyeballing it a little bit to our two cups of
preserves we're gonna add two tablespoons of soy sauce a tablespoon of your favorite hot
sauce this one is like a jalapeno a red jalapeno sauce super yummy but you could use buffalo sauce
you could use cholula tabasco any yummy hot sauce a tablespoon of dijon mustard
to our mixture you're also going to add a tablespoon of minced garlic my favorite way
of adding garlic to recipes lately is with a microplane grater take your clove of garlic
back and forth and you get perfect little shreds of garlic that almost melt away into your sauces
yeah about three cloves maybe four then you're gonna also want a little bit of
salt and a little bit of pepper you can kind of taste at the end and see how much
you need but i usually start with about a half a teaspoon to a teaspoon of each
so simple doesn't even require any cooking comes together in two minutes
i'm gonna set aside about a quarter cup of the glaze
for a dipping sauce later and then the rest of it is going to be basted on our shrimp as they cook
we're about ready to head out to the grill i'm using my gas grill today i've got it preheated
to 450 degrees fahrenheit this also works beautifully on charcoal or your pellet grill
i would just say 400 to 450 degrees is really your sweet spot where we're going to be able to get all
the char that we want on the bacon while making sure our shrimp are perfectly cooked through
before i throw them on the grill i'm just going to hit the outside of each of these
with a little bit of black pepper there's enough salt in the bacon but i like the black pepper for
just a little bit extra flavor tiny little bit of heat but works really well with the glaze
grill is hot our shrimp are going to go directly on the grill grates and this is
not a walk away low and slow scenario this is hot and fast high temperature grilling
especially with bacon that loves to render down so you want to stay
close to your grill you're going to flip these every two minutes they only take about eight
minutes to cook and while we're flipping we're gonna baste them with our spicy peach glaze
our beautiful shrimp are off of the grill they're ready for me to dunk
and to eat first you just have to remove your toothpicks please remind your guests
that there are toothpicks in there so nobody skewers their mouths when
they go to take a bite but look at this little perfectly bacon-wrapped shrimp
and i love a dipping sauce especially if something has a handle feels very interactive and fun
oh so good
the shrimp is perfectly cooked through
has just the right amount of snap from the grill but still very juicy and tender our bacon is
rendered and bite through but it's got these nice crispy crunchy edges and then these caramelized
moments from that kind of sweet sugary glaze over that high heat temperature of the grill adds such
this delicious contrast in both flavor and texture these are addictive i have a feeling you guys are
going to love them more importantly the people that you love and make them for are going to love
them as well and you're going to walk away feeling like a backyard barbecue hero when you give these
