Wood-fired, bacon-wrapped shrimp
Sydney Keddy (Oland)
If you’re going camping for a few days, don’t shy away from a bag of frozen shrimp—they’ll keep your cooler lovely and chilled, and once they’re thawed, they’ll make a great quick snack.
- 8 slices bacon halved
- 16 large shrimp peeled
- ¼ cup maple or birch syrup
Build a fire and let it burn down until you have a few flames and a solid bed of coals. Place grill over coals and let the grill heat up for a few minutes. Wrap each shrimp in half a slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
Place shrimp on the grill above coals and let cook until bacon begins to brown and crisp, about 3 minutes depending on the size of the flames. Flip and let bacon brown on the other side, brush with maple syrup and leave on grill for another 30 seconds per side. Remove from grill and eat with lots of cold beer.
