Ingredients
- 12 lices Bacon
- ¼ cup cherry preserves
- 24 raw large shrimp peeled & deveined
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400degrees F, with the oven rack placed in the middle position. Line a large baking sheet with foil. Soak 24 toothpicks in warm water for 15 minutes so that they don't burn in the oven.
- Lay the bacon slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the bacon is partially cooked and the edges are beginning to brown but the bacon is still floppy.Discard the liquid fat and foil. Line the baking sheet with a fresh sheet of foil.
- Cut the bacon slices in half crosswise. Spread ¼ teaspoon of cherry preserves on 1 side of each piece of bacon.
- Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Working with 1 shrimp and 1 piece of bacon at a time, wrap the bacon around the middle of the shrimp, with the cherry preserves on the inside. Secure with a toothpick. Place the shrimp on the baking sheet.
- Bake until the shrimp are almost cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. Switch the oven to the broiler setting. Cook until the bacon is browned and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes.Transfer to a serving dish. Serve.
