Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Juice of 1 lemon
1 clove garlic, grated
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
1 pound (about 24) large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails intact
12 slices bacon, halved

Steps:

  • Position a rack 3 to 4 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler. Whisk the lemon juice, garlic, paprika, thyme, olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a shallow baking dish. Add the shrimp and toss to coat; marinate in the refrigerator, 20 minutes.
  • Turn the shrimp in the marinade to coat well. One at a time, remove each shrimp and wrap with a piece of bacon; secure with a toothpick if desired. Place seam-side down on a baking sheet. Spoon any remaining marinade over the shrimp. Broil, turning the shrimp once, until the bacon is slightly crisp and the shrimp are cooked through, about 5 minutes.

BACON WRAPPED SHRIMP AND DATES

Wrapping bacon around shrimp and dates before broiling keeps them moist during cooking and adds that ineffable bacon taste; pair them with blue cheese for a satisfying appetizer.

Yield Makes 1 dozen of each

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon chili sauce
12 pieces thinly sliced bacon (10 to 12 ounces)
12 pitted dates
12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails left intact (12 ounces)

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, and chili sauce.
  • Heat broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Cut 3 inches off each slice of the bacon. Wrap each 3-inch piece around a date, and place seam-side down on prepared baking sheet. Wrap each shrimp with a piece of the remaining long strips of bacon, trying not to overlap, and place seam-side down on the same baking sheet. Brush the tops of the dates and the shrimp with half the honey mixture.
  • Broil until tops are well browned, about 4 minutes. Turn over dates and shrimp, brush with remaining honey mixture, and broil until well browned and shrimp are cooked through, rotating pan if necessary, about 4 minutes more. Remove dates if they are well browned before shrimp are done.
