Hello ASG friends! I have been a bit M.I.A. lately. A lot has gone on in the last month and half.
My daddy passed away on 7.18.19 at 6:47pm. I know it not rational but I thought my dad would live forever. It has been super surreal but at the same time, I am lucky that he has given me numerous signs that he doing well. He is now in heaven. I will always miss and love my daddy.
I had this post photographed at the beginning of July and it just sat stored in my draft posts. Slowly I am realizing our new normal with out my daddy. It has been hard on my mom, but she is such a resilient person and is surrounded by our close family, so we are all supporting each other. Taking one day at a time, enjoying each day and remembering all of the good times is the best medicine.
I whipped up this super easy appetizer that has a touch point on all of the senses - hearty, salty, crunchy, smoky, sweet and a magnet to your eye with the textures.
BBQ BACON WRAPPED SHRIMP
Makes 12
12 jumbo shrimp (deveined)
1/3 cup BBQ sauce
4 crispy strips of bacon
1/3 cup crushed potato chips
2 tablespoon minced flat leaf parsley
Instructions:
Cook the slices of bacon until crispy and let cool. Over a small bowl break the bacon into small pieces and add the crushed potato chips. Toss and set aside.
Prepare the jumbo shrimp by deveining and pat dry with a paper towel. Preheat an indoor or outdoor grill. Brush each shrimp with BBQ sauce using a pastry brush and place on grill. Grill the shrimp over direct, medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, turning the shrimp halfway through the process. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp or else it will become tough.
Place onto a platter and drizzle a bit more BBQ sauce over each jumbo shrimp and then sprinkle the bacon potato chip topping on each. ENJOY!
Liza, my deepest sympathy! May God be with you all at this time of lost.
