Steps

  1. 1Peel and devein the shrimp, but leave the tails on.
  2. 2Setup your grill for 2-zone cooking and heat the direct side medium hot. Cook the bacon strips right on the grates on the indirect side, lid on, until they are about halfway done. Don't overcook them, they must remain flexible.
  3. 3Place a strip of cream cheese on the shrimp's back where the vein was. Place a strip of jalapeño on top of the cream cheese (you decide how much and slice the jalapenos as necessary), then wrap the whole thing with a strip of bacon. Hold it in place with a toothpick or two.
  4. 4Cook the bacon wrapped shrimp on the indirect side of the grill with the lid on until the shrimp is pink throughout and the bacon is done the way you like it. If you like the bacon really hard, you might need to move it to the direct side for a few minutes, lid off.
  5. 5Remove the shrimp from the grill, brush generously with the Thai sweet chili sauce and serve.
