AIR-FRIED BACON-WRAPPED SHRIMP



Air-Fried Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp image

Simple to put together with only 4 ingredients, but big on flavor! I like to use "extra jumbo" size shrimp, which are 16-20 per pound. Cutting the bacon lengthwise into narrow strips makes it easier to wrap. Refrigerating the shrimp, as well as using thin-cut bacon, will prevent the shrimp from overcooking in the time it takes to crisp the bacon.

Time 42m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

16 jumbo Shrimp, fresh, raw, jumbo (11-15)
¾ teaspoon Cajun seasoning
8 strips thin sliced bacon, cut in half
16 toothpicks
2 tablespoons hot honey (such as Mike's Hot Honey®)

Steps:

  • Place shrimp on a plate and sprinkle both sides with Cajun seasoning. Wrap each shrimp with 1 narrow strip of bacon and fasten with a toothpick. Refrigerate for 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Air-fry shrimp for 3 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until bacon is lightly crispy, 4 to 5 minutes more. You may have to do 2 batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
  • Remove shrimp to a plate and drizzle with hot honey. Serve immediately, being watchful of any toothpicks.

Tips:

  • Selecting the Right Shrimp: Choose large, fresh shrimp for the best results. Smaller shrimp may overcook quickly and become tough.
  • Patting Shrimp Dry: Before wrapping the shrimp in bacon, pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps the bacon crisp up and prevents it from steaming the shrimp.
  • Using Toothpicks or Skewers: Secure the bacon-wrapped shrimp with toothpicks or skewers to prevent the bacon from unraveling during cooking. This also makes it easier to flip the shrimp in the air fryer.
  • Cooking Time and Temperature: Cook the bacon-wrapped shrimp in the air fryer at 400°F for 8-10 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the shrimp are cooked through. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the size of the shrimp and the thickness of the bacon.
  • Checking for Doneness: To ensure the shrimp are cooked properly, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the shrimp. The internal temperature should reach 145°F.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve the air-fried bacon-wrapped shrimp immediately, garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro. These shrimp are a perfect appetizer or main course, and can be paired with various dipping sauces such as ranch, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.

Conclusion:

Air-fried bacon-wrapped shrimp are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. By following these tips, you can ensure that your shrimp are cooked to perfection and have a crispy, flavorful bacon coating. Experiment with different seasonings and dipping sauces to create your own unique variations of this classic dish.
