I’m sure this has been done before, and it’s certainly nothing special, but, this is my first try at posting a recipe, so don’t be too harsh.
I call it Simple Shrimp (on the bahbee).
Ingredients:
1 lb. 21-30 shrimp, thawed
Dozen, or so, sweet grape or cherry tomatoes
Half dozen, or so, sweet mini peppers
EVOO
Old Bay
The shrimp come frozen. I buy them when my local supermarket puts them on sale – buy 2 get 3 free. The best part with these is that they are already deveined!
The first step is to soak those skewers. I usually start that at least an hour before anything else.
When the shrimp are thawed, remove the shells. Cut off the stem end of the peppers, then cut each one in half, going across the pepper, not down the length of it. Put the shrimp, peppers, and tomatoes into a mixing bowl and drizzle with EVOO. Then mix in a liberal amount of Old Bay, making sure that everything is covered evenly.
You can either skewer them up right away, or keep them in the fridge for a while.
I use about a full load of briquettes for this cook. I know it’s wasteful, but, I like the results, and besides, I don’t know any other way.
Once the charcoal is ready, I dump it along the center of Little Man, in between the two side baskets. A full load gives me a nice even layer from one end to the other.
Then simply line up those little puppies.
After 4-5 minutes, give ‘em a flip. Notice that by cutting the peppers across the middle, you can get some nice char on the skin.
Just 4-5 minutes later it’s dinner time.
