Barbecue Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp

1. 1

   Prepare the shrimp: Mix the basil, cheese and garlic in a bowl.

2. 2

   Slice down the back of each shrimp and remove the vein; fill the cut with 1/2 teaspoon of the basil mixture.

   When the temperature reaches 400 degrees F, place the shrimp on the grill away from the coals.

   Close the lid and cook until the bacon is crisp and the shrimp is cooked through, about 14 minutes.

7. 7

   Drain on a paper-towel-lined platter.

8. 8

   Mix all the sauce ingredients in a bowl.
