3 The Cook

  • When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.

  • Brush each bacon-wrapped shrimp with butter, and set the baking sheet on the grill. Cover, and cook for 15 minutes.

  • Then, remove the shrimp from the baking sheets, and place directly over the coals on the grate for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

  • Flip and grill for 30 more seconds. When the shrimp reach an internal temperature of 145°F on a digital meat thermometer, and the bacon is fully cooked, remove them from the grill and enjoy.
