How to Make Grilled Shrimp Dim Sum

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Soak bamboo skewers or toothpicks in cold water for at least 1 hour before grilling.
  2. Peel and devein 1 pound of large shrimp.
  3. Trim the green tops from 4 scallions, reserving for another use. Trim the roots and cut the white parts into 2-inch sections.
  4. Cut 4 slices of bacon crosswise into halves.
  5. Gently nestle one scallion white section into the curved hollow of each shrimp.
  6. Wrap each shrimp-scallion combination with a half-piece of bacon.
  7. Secure each wrapped shrimp with a soaked skewer or toothpick, piercing through the bacon and shrimp.
  8. Arrange the dim sum on the preheated grill grate. Grill for 2-4 minutes per side, turning once with tongs, until the shrimp are pink and firm and the bacon is crispy.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy these delightful grilled bites!
