Question:

What is the best way to cook barbecue sauce bacon wrapped shrimp?

No matter how high I cook it on, the bacon will not crisp. I have tried low fat bacon and I have tried a cooking rack. All on 350 to broiling and still can not get crisp outsides which also overcooks the shrimp.


Answers:

When I make bacon wrapped barbecue shrimp, I use large or jumbo shrimp, so they don't overcook and get rubbery. And I use barbecue seasoning instead of barbecue sauce. Cut your piece of bacon in half, so that it's just long enough to go around the shrimp and secure with a toothpick (or three or four shrimp along a skewer). Then sprinkle each side with barbecue seasoning (I add Montreal steak seasoning as well). Broil on a rack or ridged pan (I like the disposable broiler pans) so that the grease drips off and your shrimp isn't frying in bacon fat. I broil about 8 inches from the top of the oven, and my shrimp is never overcooked. Bacon that is baked like this will have a nice brown edge, but it won't be as crispy as, say, your morning bacon that you fry up. You would't want it to be anyway; it would be too hard to bite into the shrimp!
