Ingredients
- 2 pounds large shrimp deveined and peeled, tails left on
- 1 pound Bacon slices cut in half crosswise
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the broiler. Coat a sheet pan with cooking spray.
- Wrap a slice of bacon around each shrimp and secure with a toothpick. Arrange the shrimp in a single layer on the baking pan.
- In a small bowl, mix together the maple syrup, soy sauce, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Brush half the mixture over the top of each of the shrimp.
- Broil for 10-15 minutes, or until bacon is crisp and shrimp are cooked through. Brush the remaining sauce over the shrimp halfway through the cook time.
- Sprinkle with parsley, then serve.
Notes
- Choose the largest shrimp that you can afford. Larger shrimp are easier to wrap with bacon and they won’t overcook as the bacon crisps up. I prefer to use colossal shrimp (under 15 per pound), but the extra jumbo shrimp 16-20 per pound count will also work.
- I like to leave the tails on my shrimp for a nicer presentation.
- Make sure to use a regular cut of bacon – thick cut bacon will take too long to cook through.
