Pickled Jalapeno Cream cheese stuffed shrimp with a bacon wrap and glazed with sweet chili sauce and a tritip cooked on a very versatile BPS Engineered Drum Smoker.
This appetizer won the "5 ingredient One Bite" category for Melissa Cookston on her way to winning Grand Champion at the 1st annual 2012 Kingsford Invitational. Five ingredients: Pickled jalapeno, cream cheese, shrimp, bacon, sweet chili sauce.
Chopped up the jalapenos and mixed in with the cream cheese then stuffed the shrimp.
My favorite bacon, Nueske's (pronounced "new skees") from Wisconsin.
Wrapped the shrimp
Added some hickory pellets to the drum
Time to throw the shrimp on the barbi
Started with the coal basket in the low position then decided to raise it to the top so the bacon would cook faster so the shrimp wouldn't be overcooked. Flipped them at do the other side. The burned one to the left was in the middle.
Off the drum then glazed with sweet chili sauce. They were so good! Multiple textures and flavors all coming together in one sweet heat bite. It's no wonder Melissa won with these shrimp!
