Here is a Devil'd egg recipe I've never seen.

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce
1/2 pound lump crabmeat, picked over for shells and cartilage
1 ounce caviar or salmon roe

Place the eggs in a large saucepan and cover with water by 1-inch. Bring to a boil. As soon as the water comes to a boil, set a timer for 10 minutes, and boil the eggs for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and place in the sink. Drain, and run with cold running water until cool enough to handle. Peel the eggs and cut in 1/2 lengthwise.
Remove the yolks from the whites and put in a medium bowl. With the back of a fork, mash the yolks. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, salt and hot sauce, and mix well. Add the crabmeat and gently stir to mix.

Spoon equal amounts of the mixture into the egg white halves and chill for at least 2 hours before serving. Prior to serving, top with caviar.

1 cup All Season Salt and ½ cup sugar makes for an awesome rub.

I don't know what that has to do with grilling but it sounds good

Why wouldn't you use chorizo in lieu of the sausage? Too hard to find?

I can't believe I hadn't thought of that before....I've made these 3 times, only with an Iowani-modification.

I start by Grilling seasoned chicken breast (drizzle with worsheshire, sprinklegrill mates chicken seasoning, season salt and pepper)..brown chicken, cut it up.

Tortilla, Mexican blend cheese, chicken pieces, vegetable(if desired) cheese, tortilla.

Very easy, very quick....very popular at my house now.

easy-Kabobs

Soak Stew meat or cubed sirloin in Teryaki or other marinade of your choice.

Skewer Meat pieces, Mushrooms, Grape tomatoes, Green pepper, onion and Pinapple chunks on skewers.....

easy and good.


Dartgod added that Shrimp Kabobs were also good and a "surf and turf" option.

I'd be interested to see further input on what you put on Shrimp Kabobs.

I like the sound of KC Fish's Bacon Wrapped Water Chestnuts

Ingredients:
lb good bacon
3 cans sliced water chestnuts
6-8 cups fresh mushrooms
1 large onion (cut into nickel sized slices)
veg oil or olive oil
toothpicks

Pinch together a water chestnut slice, a mushroom slice, and a slice of onion. Wrap a strip of bacon around the wad of water chestnut, mushroom, and onion. Use just enough bacon to cover it and hold it together and stick a toothpick through it.

Make a bowl out of aluminum foil and put some oil in the bottom. Toss all the bacon-wrapped chestnuts in the aluminum foil bowl and toss in the leftover chestnuts, mushrooms, and onion.

Cook it on Med on the grill for about 35-45 min depending on how crispy you want the bacon.

Whenever I have a cookout these days, it's always requested. I bet you'll really like it.....

Here's my submission. Also, there's a thread out there somewhere from JimNasium that has tons of recipes...I'll see if I can find it.

We're eating mozza sticks and jalapeno poppers right now.

BTW, for anyone who wants a killer jalapeno popper recipe, do this:

Halve the jalapenos and stuff them with cream cheese like normal. Then, instead of battering them and frying them, wrap each of them in a strip of bacon and grill them...oh my!

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. 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.

One package of large frozen shrimp and two packs of the McCormick Chilpotle pepper marinade and grill it's pretty good and doesn't take the shrimp long to absorb the flavor!
