Everyone loves ABT’s (Atomic Buffalo Turds) and has their own version of this classic BBQ dish. This recipe pairs Shrimp and Goat Cheese with the jalapeño and bacon for one heck of a savory combination. I love making these for guests before the main meal hits the table as this dish impresses every time! So, sit back, grab a glass of Syrah, and enjoy this post for Big Green Egg Shrimp Goat Cheese ABT.

Wrap each with a slice of bacon then top off with some more of the rub. Put a toothpick in each to hold the bacon in place.

Set up the Big green Egg for indirect heat using a Plate Setter. I got the temp to 350° for a faster cook. I used Pecan Wood for the smoke.

Place the ABT’s on a raised grid and put a drip pan underneath.

Let these babies smoke for 45 minutes checking occasionally to ensure the bacon is cooking evenly and you are not overdoing it.
