Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. If using wooden skewers or or toothpicks, cover them in water to soak for at least 20 minutes.
  3. Place slices of bacon, cut in half, on a wire rack on top of a foil-lined baking sheet.
  4. Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
  5. Remove from the oven and transfer to a paper towel lined plate to cool.
  6. In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper and salt.
  7. Add the shrimp to the bowl with the seasoned butter and toss to coat.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat (approximately 450°F).
  11. Grill the bacon wrapped shrimp for 3-4 minutes per side.
  12. Remove from the grill and immediately brush with the melted, seasoned butter.
  13. 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.
