Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp

  • 8 slices of bacon (8 oz or 224 g) (regular thickness)
  • 16 large shrimp (1 lb or 450 g), peeled and deveined (you can leave the tail on for decoration)
  • 1 Tablespoon (6 g) of Cajun seasoning (or seasoning of choice)
  • 2 Tablespoons (30 ml) of olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) of lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2 g) of salt
      • 1Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Defrost the shrimp, if needed.
      • 2In a small bowl, mix the Cajun seasoning, olive oil, lime juice, and salt. Place the shrimp into the bowl and coat with the mixture. Refrigerate until ready to use.
      • 3Cut each slice of bacon in half lengthwise.
      • 4Place the cut bacon slices (now 16 of them) onto a parchment paper-lined rimmed baking tray and bake in the oven for 10 minutes (the bacon shouldn’t be crispy yet).
      • 5Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Remove the baking tray from the oven.
      • 6After the bacon is cool enough for you to handle, wrap each shrimp with one piece of bacon and use a cocktail stick to secure it.
      • 7Place the bacon-wrapped shrimp back on the baking tray and bake for 15 minutes until the bacon is crispy and the shrimp is completely cooked.
