BACON WRAPPED SHRIMP

Bacon Wrapped Shrimp never last on your table! Usually GONE in about 10 minutes with everyone asking for more, this platter of delicious shrimp is served with extra sauce PLUS a creamy guacamole to go with it!

Shrimp and avocado together are a winning combination, whether it’s a good sushi roll, a salad, or these Garlic Prawn and Avocado Crostini.

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!

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

TIP

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