Doing some ABT's, MOINK Balls, and other misc. hors d'oeuvres. I'm getting hooked on ABT's....
The starting point:
Bacon, meatballs, shrimp, little smokies, cream cheese, jalapeno's, shredded cheese, toothpicks.
Came up with this little thing...a meatball stuffed with a shrimp. Just cut a hole in the meatball and shove the shrimp in.
Then of course wrap in bacon
Here are a few shrimp left over with a 1/2 piece of bacon.
Ready to smoke everything with a few shakes of rub - Got a few smokies wrapped in bacon as well. Some ABT's had little smokies in them, some had cut up shrimp.
I glazed the MOINK balls with a concoction I made up: apple butter, bbq sauce, chili sauce. I basted once during the smoke. It was actually a pretty good sauce.
And finished....2-1/2 hours later with maple wood.
I actually cored and deseeded the jalapeno's a day in advance and because of weather was not able to cook them - I had them soaking in water in a ziploc bag for a day 'cause the wife can't stand any heat - well this accidentally took all the heat out. So for anyone who wants to take the heat out of their jap's - this works.
Thanks for viewing!
