Cold Meat Wrapped Barbeque Shrimp
Ingredients:
16 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
8 Slices Cold Meat
Barbeque seasoning to taste
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2. Wrap shrimp with 1/2 slice of cold meat, securing with a toothpick.
Be sure and use the large shrimp--the cooking time for the shrimp
and the cold meat is similar. If you use medium-sized shrimp, you
might want to precook the cold meat a little--over cooked
shrimp are tough and rubbery--and a real shame.
3. Line a jelly roll pan with extra heavy duty foil, and place baking
rack in pan. Place the shrimp on the rack, and sprinkle heavily
with the barbecue seasoning, turn and sprinkle second side. Let the
shrimp sit for 15 minutes. The cold meat will turn from creamy
white to a little opaque, and the seasonings will soak in.
4. Cook the cold meat for 10 to 15 minutes. The rack keeps the shrimp
from sitting in the draining cold meat fat.
With a little luck, you won't tear the foil --
you can throw that away and only have to scrub the rack.
