A marinated 3 lb pork loin. Don't cut it up until after it's done. Make sure to use plenty of charcoal because it will cock for 1-2 hours. Give you enough time to make a little baked potato(e) as well. :drool:

Grilled pineapple is always good. Especially when butter is rubbed on and then it's sprinkled with a cinnamon/sugar mix.

That's not really tailgating fare though.

I'm not sure I could eat that and stay in my seat during the game.

Shrimp Brochette. Find it in the archives.

Shrimp Brochette. Find it in the archives.
Found it.

Keep in mind, this is relatively easy but it is time consuming - especially if you haven't done it before.

Ingredients:
Largest uncooked shrimp you can find
Meatiest bacon
Old Bay or cajun spice
fresh jalapeno peppers
your favorite cheese (not shredded)
toothpicks

Clean your shrimp down to last joint, leave tail, remove vein like this (http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/ck_dm_intermediate/article/0,1971,FOOD_9800_1729047,00.html). Half butterfly shrimp - this means don't cut all the way through front to back. You may fully butterfly them, but when you're stuffing with cheese and peppers then wrestling them into a bacon wrap, you'll wish you had left a little barrier to help contain the ingredients.

Sliver jalapenos - the larger the slivers, the spicier it will be.
Cut cheese into strips about the length of the shrimp.
Now lay out bacon.
The object is to roll your bacon tightly around the shrimp containing some cheese and a sliver of pepper. When you achieve this, you'll push a toothpick through. This process is going to be frustrating. Some of them are going to be ugly. Sometimes you'll need to use more than 1 toothpick. It doesn't matter. You'll get the hang of it and develop your own process - eventually. This is not a meal you want to prepare for a large group.

Sprinkle entire tray of wrapped shrimp with Old Bay or cajun spice.

Cook on a hot grill that has been wiped with olive oil (on the cooking surface). Due to the fat in the bacon, it's going to flame up - so you might want to bring a spray bottle of water out with you. The flames are okay - it helps to cook the bacon. Grill until bacon browns. The shrimp will be cooked if the bacon is done properly. Remove toothpicks and enjoy.

I usually like to serve this with some dirty rice, jambalaya, bay scallops, jalapeno corn bread - something with a cajun flair.

Phobia, are you removing the shell here? AND sliced jalapeņos in a jar are your friend.

One thing we do for a side is quarter a cabbage smear butter all over it spinkle it with lemon pepper and double wrap it in foil before throwing it on the grill. You can't hadly overcook it cause you just peel off the outside layer but if you don't care for cooked cabbage(this is better) you probably won't care for this. Goes great with steak

I've had lobster, crab cakes and grilled salmon with capers at tailgates in the past and it has kicked ass. a lot of work though.

Yeah I don't mind prep on Saturday but on Sunday I don't want to spend my tailgating time prepping food.

Yes, remove the shell down to the last joint.

I prefer fresh jalapenos. Plus I want slivers, not slices.

You have to wrap the whole thing in tin foil to cook it or the hamburger will burn. Just the last 5 mintues or so you can take it out of the foil and finish it on the grill. Makes the bacon crispy and gets that smokey taste inside.
