3The 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.
