SWEET AND SAVORY BACON WRAPPED SHRIMP
These bacon wrapped shrimp are coated in a sweet and savory glaze and broiled to perfection. The perfect easy appetizer or main course!
You know what they say…everything is always better with bacon! In the case of these bacon wrapped shrimp, that is most definitely the case. Shrimp on their own are great, but when you add bacon to the mix you get an amazingly delicious appetizer that will be the hit of any party.
There are a couple of things to consider when making the perfect bacon wrapped shrimp. First off is the size of the shrimp. You want to go with the largest shrimp you can afford for this recipe, these shrimp were 12 to a pound, 20 to a pound would also work fine. If you use a small sized shrimp, you run the risk of the shrimp getting overcooked before the bacon is crispy. The other consideration is the bacon itself. I always par-cook my bacon before I wrap it around the shrimp, that way, I’m sure to end up with crispy bacon and tender shrimp that cook at the same rate. I also always use a thin cut bacon for this recipe to ensure that it’ll crisp up quickly.
