thanks! My mouth is now watering for those shrimp and all i have for lunch is a dang turkey sandwich!

Just some extra "tips" from the restauranteur.

 #1 - large skewers are always my favorite, as you can put three-to-four per skewer and turn easier and more evenly on a grill.

 #2 - if possible, par cook the bacon.  Last is, lightly cook it before wrapping the shrimp as bacon cooks much more quickly than the shrimp.

 # 3 - I LOVE to add a tad of horseradish while wrapping for flavor purposes.  Of course, this all depends on whether or not you like horseradish.

 You can also do the same thing with scallops if you like.  We bacon-wrap our aspargus before grilling, too.  No wonder, I'm getting fat.

Hoseradish???!!! 

That's genius! 

We have to do this for one of the games, if it isnt too expensive for a group. It sounds amazing!

If Gabe will grill them, I'll buy and prep them for the glorious tailgate that is 10 days and a wake up call away.  Michelle and I -- along with Loni, Tom, and some others will be there.

Im game for that if you are, Joe. These things sound amazing!Thanks for offering!

Gabe will be tailgating with us off and on this year, but he won't be the "official" cook anymore due to his new accepted duties with the University. He won't have the time that he had last year to devote to it, so Mike and Tammy ill be the official 2009 cooks!

Im sure they wont mind throwning these on the grill though, right Mike?  

On behalf of my hubby and myself, Mike absolutely won't mind throwing these on the grill! We'd need a pile of them for the whole group though! Let us know by next Wednesday, because otherwise we were going to make ribs. Yummm.

I'll definitely buy a bring a slew ... make do a little of each, surf and turf style?

I'll be 100 or so skewered up and ready to go on the grill.  I'd like to try your bbq sauce if we can find it.  I'll do 1/2 with horsey and 1/2 without.  Cool?

 What time are you guys starting? and are we chillin in the same spot?

Joe

Hi Joe! Mike and Rusty and I were talking about maybe doing the shrimp the following week since it's at 12:10 game and they cook up so fast- are you making it to next week's game? If not, bring on the skewers and we'll do some surf and turf! They're very Charleston-Southern anyway.  :) Let us know by Wednesday because we'll be rib shopping then. Thanks!

Hey Tam.

I'll be at Troy, so if you want to do that, that's fine.  Let us know what else we can bring then if you'd rather do it next week.  (Makes sense, too as we will prob have more people this week than next)
