Ingredients – Bacon-Wrapped Barbecue Jumbo Shrimp

12 – 10-inch (25 cm) wooden skewers
12 ounces dark beer
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup parsley, finely chopped
Barbecue rub
36 jumbo shrimp shelled with tail on, deveined (about 3 pounds / 1.4 kilograms)
12 slices bacon

Method – Bacon-Wrapped Barbecue Jumbo Shrimp

Preheat grill to medium indirect heat.
Soak skewers in beer while preparing shrimp.
In a medium pan, melt butter and sauté onions and season with salt, pepper and your favorite barbecue rub.
Thread each shrimp onto the skewer, starting from the tail-end.
Wrap the entire skewer with bacon, making sure to secure it around each shrimp on the skewer. Brush with melted butter and barbecue rub mixture.
Place skewers on the grill. Cook over medium heat until bacon crisps on one side, then flip gently (making sure bacon doesn’t separate from the skewer).
Continue to cook until shrimp is cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Place on non-heated side of the grill and brush with Mustard Love Sauce. Serve with a side of Mustard Love Sauce.
