As you can tell, I love seafood! Well mostly shellfish. Shrimp is such a versatile protein; you could do so much with it. One of the most popular ways to prepare it is by wrapping it in bacon. Yummy! Then who would’ve thought to add blackberry barbecue sauce to the mix? Whew hoo! That gets my taste buds all excited! I was going through this wonderful cookbook; by that large chain Seafood Restaurant I was telling you about previously. They said, “blackberry barbecue sauce is outstanding on shellfish and chicken alike…” I think I’ll make a quart of it, and freeze it, and take it out whenever I could. Just imagine having this on the menu at the family barbecue, talking about being impressed. Try it out and let me know what you think!
Yield 4 servings
24 shrimp, (as large as available)
12 strips bacon
4 metal bamboo skewers
1 c Blackberry Barbecue Sauce
Blackberry Barbecue Sauce
1 tbsp Major Grey’s Chutney (mango chutney)
½ tbsp sugar
1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
½ tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
½ tbsp sambal oelek
¼ c minced red onion
½ lb frozen blackberries
2 tbsp purchased barbecue sauce (Kraft honey bbq is my favorite)
1. To make blackberry barbecue sauce, puree all the ingredients except the berries in a food processor. Puree the berries separately and pass them through a sieve. Combine all the ingredients and blend thoroughly.
2. Cut each strip of bacon in half and wrap the pieces around each shrimp. Thread 6 shrimps on each skewer. Grill the skewers over a hot fire, basting with barbecue sauce frequently, grilling until the bacon is cooked.
3. The shrimp should be perfectly cooked at this point. Serve the grilled shrimp with your favorite accompaniments.
