Shrimp On A Stick Recipe

Shrimp On A Stick

From notyourmomma 16 years ago

Without the sauce a low carb delight! Really good and you can change the cheese to get different flavor combinations.

24 large (15-24 ct) peeled deveined shrimp, leave the tail on shopping list
12 slices of cheese cut from the bar about 1/2 inch thick, you want a plank of cheese about 3/4 inch wide, 2 inches long. shopping list
12 slices of bacon, (pre-cooked for one to one and a half minutes in the microwave) shopping list
3/4 cup of apricot preserves shopping list
1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard or more to taste shopping list
1 tablespoon of seasoned rice wine vinegar shopping list
generous pinch of red pepper flakes shopping list

Preheat broiler (500) degrees.
Sandwich cheese of choice between two of the shrimp, wrap with bacon and secure with a long tooth pick or short skewer.
Place on a rack sprayed with cooking spray and broil 4 minutes per side until bacon is crispy. Let the fat drip away and feel very virtuous.
Serve with sauce made of apricot preserves (zap in microwave for 1 minute at 40 percent power) mixed with vinegar, mustard and hot red pepper flakes.
Cheese flavors that we like a lot are smoked gouda, extra sharp white cheddar and a jalapeno monterey jack (my favorite). Don't try a processed cheese food, it doesn't work.

I haven't had shrimp with cheese in a long time if ever, and couldn't remember if I liked it or not, so I was a little worried. I LOVED it!! I could eat a ton of these in one sitting, but I allowed myself 5 this time :) Added a little more in Frankieanne's IMI link below.

These were really good! I had a bit of trouble getting them all put together and on the skewer but I managed. I only used 1/2 of a piece of bacon for each bundle and used smoked Gouda. Because of the size of my shrimp my cheese lengths were only about 1" and 1/2". The dipping sauce went really well with the flavor of the shrimp but I ended up eating the final two without it. I grilled these on my charcoal grill, probably about 5 minutes each side. I never had cheese with shrimp before and I really like it! I added a picture and a thread in IMI on 6/21/14.
