  • Temp question on Shrimp ABT's

    This evening we are bringing 42 shrimp abt's to a potluck family get together for my wife's grandma. My thoughts are to put good smoke to them for an hour or so with the Yoder set at 150º and then just turning up to 225º till the bacon looks right. My wife thinks 150º is unsafe temp for the shrimp and we should just go 225º to 250º straight through putting much less smoke on them. I tried doing a little research and got no where so decided to get the answer here at the best forum for smoking/food safety questions on the internet!

    Shrimp are cooked at aboot 120°. You take them to 150 you will be chewing rubber. The problem is the bacon, hard to cook the bacon and not overcook the shrimp. Ahhhhh, finally a use for pre-cooked bacon!!!

      I always nuke my bacon halfway done before wrapping shrimp or scallops with it.

        My temps listed in the original post are smokers temps, not internal food temps. Reason I want to run 150º or so is pellet poopers put out much more smoke at temps under 225º. I guess if I go my wifes preferred temp route I could add an A-MAZE-N for more smoke...

          IMO the best way to make ABT's is indirect smoke-grill on the kettle, where the higher temps cook the bacon crispy, faster & no need to semi-cook your bacon, which makes wrapping the ABT's a little harder IMO. Kettle temps typically will run 375-400 when I do them & takes about 50 minutes+- to get the bacon crispy. I have made them with shrimp & mango this way & they were great. My theory on ABT's is the bacon is what needs to be the focus & everything else should fall into place Just me, others do it different.... You can get the temps on that Yoder to pretty much do it any way you want to Marty.

              42 poppers with Piladelphia Cream Cheese and shrimp wrapped in bacon and on the Yoder set at 250º with the A-MAZE-N for a little additional oak smoke. I love the rack room of the YS640, there is still room on this rack and I don't even have the second shelf rack in.

              Another thing I love about the Yoder YS640, shut the lid and forget it; go take a shower and get ready to bring the shrimp abt's to the birthday party.

                      Somehow..I don't think it'll matter much... they'll just be drinking to get over it..the result will be the same.
