A Dutch friend of mine gave me this recipe. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm posting here so I can find it when the tomatoes are ripe. Jan says that these disappear as soon as he takes them off the grill. Ingredients:
8 shrimp, peeled |
8 slices smoked bacon |
400 g chopped tomatoes |
80 g sugar |
1 lemon, juice of |
lemon zest |
2 red peppers, seeded and chopped |
1 tablespoon coriander leaves |
Directions:
1. Sprinkle sugar over tomatoes, peppers and lemon, let sit overnight.
2. Drain the liquid into a saucepan and boil to a syrup, about 15 minutes. Add the reserved veggies and boil for 10 additional minutes, do not stir. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
3. Wrap each shrimp with a slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick or shish-ka-bob stick (if using wooden stick, soak in water for 20 minutes before grilling!).
4. Grill or barbecue the sticks until shrimp are pink and bacon is crispy. Serve with tomato jam.
