Prawns N Bacon Recipes

BACON-WRAPPED PRAWNS WITH CHIPOTLE BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• Soak the bamboo skewers in water, to keep from burning during grilling.
• Partially cook the bacon; cut in half, and let cool on paper towels. Wrap the bacon around the shrimp, and skewer with bamboo through the point where the bacon ends meet (to keep from unraveling). Skewer 3 to 5 shrimp per bamboo.
• Combine the BBQ sauce, oil, chipotle, lemon juice, mustard, chile flakes, black pepper and cayenne in a blender and puree. Separate the sauce in half, one for basting and one for dipping.
• Cook the bacon-wrapped shrimp on a grill over medium heat. When the shrimp begin to turn pink, begin basting with the chipotle sauce.
• Serve with the remaining sauce on the side for dipping.

EASY BACON WRAPPED PRAWNS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Wrap a slice of bacon around each large prawn.
• Secure bacon by skewering each shrimp and bacon slice through with a toothpick.
• Place in baking dish or on baking tray.
• Add cayenne or horseradish (or both) to taste to the BBQ sauce (you can substitute Tabasco, if you like - the point is for the sauce to have a little kick), then brush each shrimp/bacon with BBQ sauce. (Or you can dip each one in the sauce before putting it on the tray.)
• Bake in oven for about 20-25 minutes or until bacon is thoroughly cooked through - if the bacon isn't crisping as much as you'd like, try broiling it for the last 5 minutes, being careful to check that the sauce isn't burning and so on.
