Directions
To prepare the Honey Brown BBQ Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together brown sugar, barbeque sauce, N bottle of beer, coriander, and jalapeño pepper. Season with generous pinch of Bone Dust BBQ Spice and salt and pepper to taste.
Using a Cajun injector or syringe, inject each shrimp with some of the remaining beer; season with Bone Dust Seasoning. Set aside. Preheat grill to medium-high (about 400°F). Freeze beef for 15 minutes before thinly slicing into thin 1- to 2-ounce slices. Wrap each shrimp with 1 or 2 slices of beef, pressing firmly around the middle so it adheres. Brush with oil and season each with a pinch of Bone Dust BBQ Spice. Skewer the shrimp onto wooden chopsticks or soaked bamboo skewers.
Grill beef-wrapped shrimp for 3 to 4 minutes each side, until shrimp are just cooked through, and the beef is lightly charred. Baste with Honey Brown Sugar BBQ Sauce and serve immediately. Serves 8.
