Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Large shrimp (peeled, deveined, tails on)
- 4 ounces Goat cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives (finely chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 12 slices Bacon (thinly sliced)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil or nonstick cooking spray
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil or nonstick spray.
In a small bowl, mix together the goat cheese, chopped chives, garlic powder, black pepper, and smoked paprika until well combined.
Take each shrimp and make a small incision along the back where it has been deveined, creating a pocket for the filling. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
Using a small spoon or piping bag, stuff each shrimp with about 1 teaspoon of the goat cheese mixture.
Wrap each stuffed shrimp with a slice of bacon, ensuring the goat cheese is securely enclosed. Use a toothpick to secure the bacon if needed.
Place the prepared shrimp on the lined baking sheet, leaving space between each one to allow for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the shrimp are cooked through (opaque and pink).
Remove the shrimp from the oven and let them cool for 2 minutes before carefully removing any toothpicks.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm with lemon wedges for squeezing over the shrimp.
