ABTs

[ratherbboating]

I made some ABTs yesterday.  Also made some bacon wrapped shrimp (read about them in somewhere).  The ABTs were stuffed with Jack cheese and shrimp.  The shrimp and jalapeno peppers were smoke for an hour before stuffing and wrapping.  And I am almost embarrassed to say that I had to buy bacon, first time in two years.  Been making my own, but ran out and the next bacon still needs a little growing, about 2 months.


And out of the oven, crisping them up a little after smoking for an hour.


The thinner bacon was easier to work than the thicker slices I make.

I myself always buy cheap thin bacon for ABT's. I don't like to use my good thick cut homemade bacon on ABT's. Takes too long and doesn't crisp up like the cheap thin stuff does.

I make my own bacon, but buy the cheap thin stuff for ABTs as well. I like how my bacon has subtle flavours that I've worked hard to get, and wrapping it around a jalapeno that I've stuffed with god knows what, well...it just seems like a waste in an odd way.

The store bacon has that craptastic flavour that goes well with the ABTs that I'm probably going to be drunk while gorging on anyway. Delicacy is not a factor with these snacks IMO.
