Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
-
Take each shrimp and wrap it with a half-slice of bacon, securing it with a wooden toothpick. Repeat with the remaining shrimp and bacon slices.
-
Place the bacon-wrapped shrimp on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
-
Brush the shrimp with the olive oil mixture, making sure to coat each one thoroughly for maximum flavor.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the shrimp are cooked through. You can also broil them for an additional 1-2 minutes for extra crispiness.
-
Once done, remove the toothpicks from the shrimp and transfer them to a serving platter.
-
Serve the Bacon Wrapped Shrimp hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice for an extra burst of flavor.
