BACON WRAPPED SHRIMP RECIPE | TRAEGER GRILLS

Steps:

• Rinse the shrimp under cold running water and dry thoroughly on paper towels.
• Transfer to a resealable bag or a bowl.
• For the Marinade: Combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, salt, pepper and parsley in a small jar with a tight-fitting lid, and shake vigorously until combined.
• Pour over the shrimp and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 400°F and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes.
• Lay the bacon strips diagonally on the grill grate and grill for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the bacon is partially cooked but still very pliable.
• Cut each strip in half width-wise. Leave the grill on.
• Drain the shrimp, discarding the marinade.
• Wrap a strip of bacon around the body of each shrimp, securing with a toothpick.
• Grill for 4 minutes per side, turning once. Serve over cheesy grits, if desired. Enjoy!

BACON WRAPPED BARBEQUE SHRIMP

Steps:

• Wrap shrimp with 1/2 slice of bacon, securing with a toothpick. Be sure and use the large shrimp--the cooking time for the shrimp and the bacon is similar. If you use medium-sized shrimp, you might want to precook the bacon a little--over cooked shrimp are tough and rubbery--and a real shame.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Line a jelly roll pan with extra heavy duty foil, and place baking rack in the pan. Place the shrimp on the rack, and sprinkle heavily with the barbecue seasoning. Turn and sprinkle second side. Set aside for 15 minutes. The bacon will turn from creamy white to a little opaque, and the seasonings will soak in.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bacon is crisp and shrimp are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. The rack keeps the shrimp from sitting in the draining bacon fat. With a little luck, you won't tear the foil--you can throw that away and only have to scrub the rack.
