Recipe type: Main Course

Cuisine: American

Serves: 4

Ingredients

1/2 pound fresh blackberries
1/4 Cup red onion, minced
1 Tablespoon barbecue sauce
1 Tablespoon mango chutney
1 Tablespoon rice-wine vinegar
1/2 Tablespoon sugar
1/2 Tablespoon Sambal oelek*
1/2 Tablespoon lemon juice
12 strips bacon strips, halved
24 large shrimp, peeled, veined

Instructions

To make the sauce, in a food processor, purée the blackberries, onion, barbecue sauce, chutney, vinegar, sugar, sambal and lemon juice. Pass through a fine sieve to remove the blackberry seeds.
Wrap bacon strips around each shrimp. Thread onto skewers, 6 shrimp per skewer. If using wood or bamboo skewers, make sure they've been soaked in water for at least 20 minutes prior to use.
To cook, place the shrimp over a hot fire and grill, basting often with the sauce, until the bacon is cooked (the shrimp will be done as well).

Notes

*Sambal oelek (def.) is a spicy Indonesian chile paste and is available online or in specialty food shops. If not available, substitute Thai chili paste. You can make your own with this recipe.
