HOW TO MAKE BACON-WRAPPED SHRIMP

To make sure you get the best 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 with 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

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

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

TIP

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

    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
