Provided by Marissa Stevens

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 slices bacon (halved crosswise (see recipe note))
16 large shrimp (peeled except for the tail and deveined)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt (or 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425˚F.
Arrange bacon slices, leaving space around each, on oven safe rack placed inside a baking sheet. Bake 5 to 10 minutes depending on the thickness of your bacon. It should still be pliable when you remove it from the oven.
Meanwhile, place shrimp in a medium bowl. Add olive oil, salt and pepper; toss to coat.
When partially cooked bacon slices are cool enough to handle (about 5 minutes after you remove from oven), wrap each slice of bacon around one raw shrimp, securing with a toothpick; return to oven safe rack. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
Bake 10 minutes more until shrimp are pink and bacon is cooked through. Serve.

Seafood Essentials: Simple Bacon Wrapped Shrimp image

Provided by Andy Anderson ! @ThePretentiousChef

Number Of Ingredients 9

PLAN/PURCHASE
6 slice(s) bacon, cut in half lengthwise
12 large shrimp peeled, deveined, with tails on
2 tablespoon(s) olive oil, extra virgin variety
1 tablespoon(s) tamari sauce, or liquid aminos
salt, kosher variety, fine grind, to taste
black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
ADDITIONAL ITEMS
cocktail sauce, or sauce of your own choosing

Steps:

PREP/PREPARE
If you have a rimmed baking sheet and a fitted wire rack, you are good to go.
Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
Add the shrimp, olive oil, tamari sauce, salt and pepper to a bowl, then toss to combine.
Place a rack in the lower position and preheat the oven to 400f (205c).
Add the bacon to a parchment-lined baking sheet fitted with a wire rack and precook in the oven until the bacon has rendered its fat, but is still pliable, 7 - 9 minutes. Do not let it crisp.
Once the bacon has cooled, wrap each shrimp with a slice of bacon, and place back onto the baking sheet.
Some similar recipes call for using toothpicks to hold the bacon in place; however, I found by tucking the ends under the shrimp solves that natty little problem.
Place into the oven and bake until the bacon crisps, about 12 - 14 minutes.
PLATE/PRESENT
Serve by themselves or with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy.
Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
