Apple smoking bacon wrapped shrimp and scallops.

Brined three each scallops and (16/20) shrimps for 30 minutes then wrapped them in Baltimore's best Esskay bacon. There are now in the OBS for 30 minutes with apple pucks. Doing a test run for tomorrows dinner...shrimp and scallop Alfredo. Not sure on the pasta yet...either linguine or angel hair. YUM!!! :)

They were delicious! I checked them at 30 minutes and decided to give them another 10 minutes. They were still moist inside. Might swap cayenne pepper for the chili powder in the brine recipe I found on the Smoking Meat Forum. As they say in restaurants... "I'd order that again!" The apple smoke was nice on the seafood. It was there but I knew that I was eating seafood.

Should be good in the Alfredo tomorrow.

812,
The video shows a sea scallop. There is also a bay scallop which is much much smaller. They are both equally delicious and cook in no time. A very sweet and tender meat much like the consistency of shrimp. And like shrimp, overcook them and you have a rubbery piece of meat. Done correctly, they are delicious.

Not bad for a guy born and raised in horse, pig and cow country, huh? ;)
