Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 Large shrimp
- 10 Bacon strips
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 Lemon wedges
- 20 Toothpicks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails on for an attractive presentation. Pat them dry with paper towels to ensure they don’t release too much moisture while cooking.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Place the shrimp in a large bowl and pour the marinade over them. Toss the shrimp until they are thoroughly coated.
Take the bacon strips and cut each in half to create 20 shorter strips.
Wrap each shrimp with a half-slice of bacon, starting at the tail and securing with a toothpick to hold it in place. Ensure the bacon is snug but not too tight.
Place the bacon-wrapped shrimp on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart to allow even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon becomes crispy and the shrimp turn opaque and pink in color.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve the bacon-wrapped shrimp with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top for an added zest.
