Air fryer Bacon Wrapped Shrimp
Description
This recipe wraps peeled shrimp with halved slices of bacon, chilling them briefly to help the bacon hold its shape. The shrimp bundles are coated in a rub of brown sugar, smoked paprika, chili powder, and garlic powder before air frying at high heat. The quick cooking crisps the bacon while cooking the shrimp through without drying.
The combination of ingredients results in a dish that blends the smoky flavor and slightly sweet note from the rub with the natural sweetness of shrimp and the crispy bacon exterior. Sweet chili sauce provides a complementary dipping option.
Arranging the bacon-wrapped shrimp in a single layer with space between pieces in the air fryer basket ensures even cooking. The method offers a straightforward way to make a flavorful and texturally satisfying finger food.
