GRILLED BACON-WRAPPED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Whisk together the olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, Neely's barbecue rub, salt, and pepper together in a medium bowl. Add the shrimp, and toss. Cover with plastic wrap, and marinate for 15 minutes. Cook your bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until halfway done (not yet crisp), about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to a paper-towel-lined sheet tray to drain and cool. Remove shrimp from the marinade, and wrap the bacon slices and around the center of each shrimp. Thread the skewer through the shrimp and bacon to secure. (Thread two shrimp per skewer) Grill the shrimp on both sides until the bacon is crisp and the shrimp are bright pink, about 5 to 7 minutes per side. Sweet and Spicy Orange Dipping Sauce: Mix all ingredients in a small bowl. Serve with the bacon-wrapped shrimp. Barbecue Rub: Stir together all the ingredients in a bowl. If stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, this seasoning will last for up to 6 months.
