Bacon Wrapped Shrimp Recipe
This bacon wrapped shrimp recipe is great for appetizers or for parties. You can prep these ahead
of time and then stick them in the oven when you are ready to serve. Try to use a extra jumbo or 16 to 20
count shrimp per lb.
Make sure you use thin sliced bacon and pre cook it in the oven until it starts to crisp up but is
still pliable. That way your bacon comes out crispy and the shrimp are not overcooked.
To improve the appearance of them soak your toothpicks in water for 30 minutes, this way you don't have burnt
ends.
You could also cook them on the grill for some delicious bacon grilled shrimp.
