Ingredients
- 24 Large Shrimp peeled and deveined, tail-on
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Pepper
- 12 slices Bacon cut in half
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the cut bacon slices on a wire rack on top of a foil lined baking sheet. Then bake for 10 minutes. Transfer them to a plate lined with a paper towel to cool.
- Preheat a grill over medium high heat (approximately 400 degrees F). Rub the grill grates with an oil so that the bacon wrapped shrimp does not stick to the grill grates.
- Add the shrimp, olive oil and seasonings to a mixing bowl. Toss to coat the shrimp.
- Wrap each piece of the shrimp with a piece of the bacon securing the bacon to the shrimp with a toothpick. Continue until all the shrimp is wrapped with bacon.
- Grill the bacon wrapped shrimp for 4-6 minutes per side until the bacon is cooked through and crispy.
- Remove from the grill. Let sit for 5 minutes. Then they are ready to serve and enjoy!
Notes
Do not use thick cut bacon for this recipe. It takes too long to cook and is difficult to wrap around the shrimp.
Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
