Ingredients
- 6 lices Bacon cut in half
- ½ cup butter melted
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp salt
- 12 jumbo shrimp peeled & deveined
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- If using wooden skewers or or toothpicks, cover them in water to soak for at least 20 minutes.
- Place slices of bacon, cut in half, on a wire rack on top of a foil-lined baking sheet.
- Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and transfer to a paper towel lined plate to cool.
- In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper and salt.
- Add the shrimp to the bowl with the seasoned butter and toss to coat.
- Remove each piece of shrimp from the seasoned butter and wrap a half slice of bacon around each shrimp, securing the bacon in place with a skewer or toothpick.
- Once all of the shrimp has been removed from the seasoned butter, reheat the remaining butter in the microwave for 2 minutes, or until boiling.
- Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat (approximately 450°F).
- Grill the bacon wrapped shrimp for 3-4 minutes per side.
- Remove from the grill and immediately brush with the melted, seasoned butter.
- Serve while fresh and hot off the grill!
Notes
- Bacon - do NOT use thick sliced bacon for this recipe. It takes longer to cook and is difficult to wrap around the shrimp.
- Shrimp - use shrimp labeled extra jumbo (16-20) or jumbo (21-25) for this recipe.
