Description
These are spicy and wonderful! As close as I can get to a restaurant version that I am addicted to. Serves 2 as an entree and 4 as an appetizer.
Ingredients
- 16 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 8 slices bacon
- barbeque seasoning, to taste
Instructions
- Wrap shrimp with 1/2 slice of bacon
- securing with a toothpick. Be sure and use the large shrimp–the cooking time for the shrimp and the bacon is similar. If you use medium-sized shrimp
- you might want to precook the bacon a little–over cooked shrimp are tough and rubbery–and a real shame.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
- Line a jelly roll pan with extra heavy duty foil
- and place baking rack in the pan. Place the shrimp on the rack
- and sprinkle heavily with the barbecue seasoning. Turn and sprinkle second side. Set aside for 15 minutes. The bacon will turn from creamy white to a little opaque
- and the seasonings will soak in.
- Bake in the preheated oven until bacon is crisp and shrimp are tender
- 10 to 15 minutes. The rack keeps the shrimp from sitting in the draining bacon fat. With a little luck
- you won’t tear the foil–you can throw that away and only have to scrub the rack.
