Prepare the Shrimp<\/strong>: Begin by peeling and deveining your shrimp if they are not already prepped. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, which will help the seasoning adhere better.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Marinate the Shrimp<\/strong>: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Place the shrimp in a large bowl and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and allow the shrimp to marinate in the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes to soak in the flavors.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Prepare the Bacon<\/strong>: While the shrimp are marinating, preheat your oven to 400\u00b0F (200\u00b0C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to avoid sticking and make cleanup easier.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Wrap the Shrimp<\/strong>: Once the shrimp have marinated, remove them from the fridge. Take each half-slice of bacon and wrap it around each shrimp, securing it in place with a toothpick. Make sure the bacon ends overlap slightly under the shrimp to hold them together during cooking.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Bake the Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp<\/strong>: Arrange the bacon-wrapped shrimp on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. If you like, drizzle a small amount of honey over the top of each shrimp for a hint of sweetness that complements the smoky flavors. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the shrimp are pink and opaque.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Serve and Enjoy<\/strong>: Remove the shrimp from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Carefully remove the toothpicks before serving. These delightful bacon-wrapped shrimp can be served as an appetizer or as a main dish alongside a fresh salad or grilled vegetables.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n These bacon-wrapped shrimp are not only incredibly easy to make, but they also offer a delightful combination of textures and flavors that are sure to be a hit with family and friends. Whether it’s a casual dinner or a festive gathering, this dish brings an impressive and delicious treat to the table with minimal effort.
