Ingredients
- 20 Large shrimp
- 10 Bacon strips
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 Lemon wedges
- 20 Toothpicks
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails on for an attractive presentation. Pat them dry with paper towels to ensure they don’t release too much moisture while cooking.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Step 4
Place the shrimp in a large bowl and pour the marinade over them. Toss the shrimp until they are thoroughly coated.
Step 5
Take the bacon strips and cut each in half to create 20 shorter strips.
Step 6
Wrap each shrimp with a half-slice of bacon, starting at the tail and securing with a toothpick to hold it in place. Ensure the bacon is snug but not too tight.
Step 7
Place the bacon-wrapped shrimp on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart to allow even cooking.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon becomes crispy and the shrimp turn opaque and pink in color.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Step 10
Serve the bacon-wrapped shrimp with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top for an added zest.
