BACON WRAPPED SHRIMP

Bacon wrapped shrimp never lasts on our table! Usually gone within about 10 minutes and leaving everyone asking for more. This platter of delicious shrimp is served with extra sauce and a creamy Guacamole.

Shrimp and avocado together are the winning combination. Whether it’s a good sushi roll, a salad, or these Garlic Prawn and Avocado Crostinis, you can’t go wrong. After receiving such a good response from our Browned Butter Honey Garlic Shrimp, we figured we should create a new dish incorporating all of your favourite flavours – hence Bacon Wrapped Shrimp was born!

HOW TO MAKE BACON WRAPPED SHRIMP

To make sure you get perfectly cooked shrimp, be careful not to overcook them in the oven! Raw shrimp don’t take long to cook in a hot, preheated oven, and it doesn’t take long for bacon to crisp up! Try to find thin slices of bacon to make sure both cook at the same time.

Bacon wrapped shrimp will give you visual cues:

  • shrimp will change colour, turn opaque and become tender when cooked through.
  • bacon will be nicely charred on the edges and crispy.

First, you’re going to make a honey garlic sauce mixed with a kick of BBQ sauce and a splash of soy; pour out half of it to serve later and marinate your shrimp for at least 10 minutes so that they take on as much flavour as possible.

Wrap your shrimp with bacon, arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sauce from sticking or burning onto your tray, and broil (or grill for us Aussies)!

SHRIMP WITH SHELLS OFF

For our shrimp recipe, buy cleaned and deveined shrimp (the dark strip removed from the inner back-side of the shrimp, aka the digestive track). Make sure the shells are removed and tails are still intact to give your guests a cleaner way to pick them up and enjoy them.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH BACON WRAPPED SHRIMP

Serve your bacon wrapped shrimp hot with the remaining sauce, fresh chopped green onions (or chives) and guacamole!

Glazed with a honey garlic sauce, these bacon wrapped shrimp are perfect for Game Day, holiday parties, celebrations or anytime a craving for bacon and shrimp hits you at the same time!

They crisp up so quickly and are ready on your table in less than 20 minutes.

TIP

Use the pan juices and mix with the remaining  sauce to make it even MORE flavourful!

    This was absolutely amazing! I let the mixture marinate with the shrimp for 24 hours and I forgot to purchase ginger so I substituted with cinnamon and worked just the same! I broiled the shrimp with the bacon just as the recipe says but I added a few extra minutes on the other side to ensure it was completely cooked. I served it with some homemade pineapple salsa and tortillas, a sure hit, and flavorful punch! 10/10 my family and I loved it and I would recommend this to anyone.

    I would like to make these with turkey bacon. Should the cooking time be adjusted so the turkey bacon won’t dry out & be over cooked? If so, what temperature & time? Thanks
