You make these crowd-pleasing bacon wrapped shrimp in the oven for perfectly crispy bacon and juicy shrimp every time. The sweet and savory glaze makes this an ideal party food idea.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 12 thin slices bacon, halved crosswise
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle powder (for a little heat)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top of the foil. This setup helps the bacon crisp up underneath.
  2. Pat the shrimp completely dry using paper towels. This step is key for crispy bacon.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, soy sauce, chipotle powder, and garlic powder to create the glaze.
  4. Take one slice of bacon and wrap it around each shrimp, securing it with a toothpick if necessary. Place the wrapped shrimp on the wire rack.
  5. Brush the tops of the wrapped shrimp lightly with about half of the brown sugar glaze mixture.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes.
  7. Remove the pan from the oven. Brush the shrimp with the remaining glaze. Switch your oven setting to broil (high).
  8. Broil for 1 to 3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning, until the bacon is deeply browned and crisp.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve immediately as a quick appetizer recipe.

Notes

  • For the crispiest bacon, use thin-cut bacon rather than thick-cut bacon.
  • If you prefer a smoky flavor, substitute the chipotle powder with 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika.
  • You can prepare the shrimp, wrap them, and place them on the tray up to 4 hours ahead of time. Cover and refrigerate until ready to bake.
