Put another (bacon-wrapped) shrimp (with mango-balsamic sauce) on the barbie!
Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
12 slices center-cut bacon or turkey bacon, halved horizontally
3/4 cup cubed mango (fresh or thawed from frozen)
2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp. brown sugar (not packed)
24 raw large shrimp (about 12 oz.), peeled, tails removed, deveined
Directions:
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes to prevent burning. (You'll need four.)
Cook bacon in a skillet or microwave until cooked but not crisp, about half the time stated on the package. Transfer to a layer of paper towels.
In a food processor or small blender, combine mango, vinegar, and brown sugar. Pulse until smooth and uniform. Reserve half of this mixture for dipping.
Wrap a half a slice of bacon around each shrimp, and evenly thread onto 4 skewers, skewering the bacon so it stays wrapped.
Bring a grill sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat. Place kebabs on the grill, and brush with half the unreserved mango-balsamic mixture. Grill for 5 minutes with the grill cover down.
Flip kebabs and brush with remaining unreserved mango-balsamic mixture. With the grill cover down, grill for 5 more minutes, or until shrimp is cooked through and bacon is crispy.
Serve with reserved mango-balsamic mixture for dipping.
