Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp

Instructions

1. Preheat oven. Set to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set a wire rack on top.

2. Prep shrimp. Toss shrimp with olive oil, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper.

3. Wrap. Cut bacon strips in half. Wrap each shrimp with half a bacon strip, securing with a toothpick if needed.

4. Arrange. Place wrapped shrimp on the wire rack in a single layer.

5. Bake. Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until bacon is crispy and shrimp is pink and cooked through.

6. Serve. Remove toothpicks if used. Serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

• Thin-cut bacon works better—it crisps faster
• Partially cook bacon first if you prefer it extra crispy
• Large or jumbo shrimp work best
