Bacon Wrapped Shrimp is the kind of appetizer that disappears fast—crispy, smoky bacon paired with juicy, tender shrimp is a match made in flavor heaven. This delicious bite-sized treat, delivers big taste with minimal effort and perfectly cooked shrimp with crispy bacon every time.

Helpful Tips

Partially cook the bacon first – This ensures the bacon crisps up without overcooking the shrimp. Cook the bacon halfway before wrapping it around the shrimp.
Use toothpicks to secure the bacon – This keeps the bacon in place while cooking and makes flipping the shrimp much easier. Just remember to remove them before serving!
Brush with a flavorful glaze – A mix of honey, garlic, or even a bit of sriracha adds extra depth and caramelization for a next-level bite.
Don’t overcook – Be sure not to overcook these, as the shrimp will become rubbery and hard when overcooked. If you want to be sure of the correct timing, cook one shrimp before cooking the others, to be sure you have the timing down.

With just a few ingredients and these simple tips, you’ll have an irresistible appetizer that’s perfect for any occasion!
