- .RZ "STUFFED SHRIMP WITH BACON" "A high-cholesterol appetizer with shrimp, cheese, and bacon"
- .IH "Serves 2\-4"
- .IG "12" "large shrimp"
- (The larger the better)
- .IG "1 lb" "low moisture mozzarella" "500 g"
- .IG "1 lb" "bacon" "500 g"
- (as little fat as possible)
- .PH
- .SK 1
- Steam shrimp lightly\(emjust about 30\-60 seconds after they begin to turn
- orange.
- .SK 2
- Plunge shrimp into ice water to cool. Do this immediately.
- .SK 3
- Peel and butterfly the shrimp.
- .SK 4
- Cut the mozzarella into strips that are a little smaller than the shrimp.
- .SK 5
- Put mozzarella in shrimp and (this is important) roll shrimp from tail to
- head while it is open (butterflied). This keeps the cheese from leaking.
- .SK 6
- Wrap shrimp-cheese roll in \(12 slice of bacon and put on skewer.
- .SK 7
- Cook on grill or barbecue, over moderate heat, until bacon looks done.
- .NX
- When shrimp are butterflied, cut them almost all the way through
- so they can lay flat when open. This makes them easier to roll.
- The fire will flare up due to bacon fat. Turn the skewers often to cook
- evenly. The bacon should be slightly charred when done.
- The reason why the shrimp are cooked lightly first is that they tend to
- cook slower than the bacon.
- .SH RATING
- .I Difficulty:
- easy to moderate.
- .I Time:
