Instructions

  1. If your shrimp have not been peeled then peel them leaving the tails intact. Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel and arrange on a plate. Liberally season the shrimp with the Cajun seasoning.
  2. Wrap the shrimp in the bacon and hold in place with a toothpick if needed.
  3. Skewer the bacon wrapped shrimp.
  4. Heat your grill or smoker to about 375 degrees and set up for indirect heat.
  5. Grill the bacon wrapped shrimp until the bacon has crisped up to your liking and the shrimp is cooked though, flipping every few minutes.
  6. Remove the shrimp from the grill and dip or baste the shrimp in the hot sauce. Throw the shrimp back on the grill for a couple minutes per side, then remove.
  7. Serve warm with some extra sauce for dipping.
