BACON WRAPPED SHRIMP



Bacon Wrapped Shrimp image

Large shrimp tend to get rubbery when cooked. Grilling them is an excellent alternative. The bacon keeps them from drying out.

BACON WRAPPED SHRIMP

Categories     appetizer

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 orange, sectioned, seeded (if there are any) and chopped
1 hot red chile, stemmed and chopped
2 scallions, white and green parts, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 large shrimp, shelled and deveined
3 to 4 slices bacon, cut into 2 to 3-inch sections
8 leaves bibb or Boston lettuce

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. In a bowl, stir together the chopped orange, chile, scallions, cilantro, olive oil, and salt and pepper.
  • Wrap each shrimp in a section of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Put the shrimp on a baking sheet and broil, turning once, until the bacon is crisp and the shrimp is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes each side. To serve, lay a lettuce leaf on the cutting board. Remove the toothpick from 1 of the cooked shrimp and center the shrimp on the lettuce leaf. Spoon a little of the citrus sauce on top, wrap it all up in the lettuce like a burrito, and put it seam-side down on a plate. Keep going in the same way to wrap all of the shrimp. Serve hot.

BACON WRAPPED BARBEQUE SHRIMP



Bacon Wrapped Barbeque Shrimp image

These are spicy and wonderful! As close as I can get to a restaurant version that I am addicted to. Serves 2 as an entree and 4 as an appetizer.

Provided by Jan

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Pork     Bacon     Appetizers

Time 45m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 3

16 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
8 slices bacon
barbeque seasoning, to taste

Steps:

  • Wrap shrimp with 1/2 slice of bacon, securing with a toothpick. Be sure and use the large shrimp--the cooking time for the shrimp and the bacon is similar. If you use medium-sized shrimp, you might want to precook the bacon a little--over cooked shrimp are tough and rubbery--and a real shame.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Line a jelly roll pan with extra heavy duty foil, and place baking rack in the pan. Place the shrimp on the rack, and sprinkle heavily with the barbecue seasoning. Turn and sprinkle second side. Set aside for 15 minutes. The bacon will turn from creamy white to a little opaque, and the seasonings will soak in.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bacon is crisp and shrimp are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. The rack keeps the shrimp from sitting in the draining bacon fat. With a little luck, you won't tear the foil--you can throw that away and only have to scrub the rack.

BACON-WRAPPED SHRIMP



Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp image

Who ever first thought of wrapping something in bacon is a genius. The trick to doing this right is finding the thinnest sliced bacon you can. You want the bacon to get crisp without having to cook the shrimp to death. The Oscar Mayer brand is a nice thin one, however if you can find a better smoked bacon like applewood or something, go for it. I find that making a sauce for these is entirely unnecessary. I mean, you got the bacon... hard to top that! When it comes to your shrimp, try to get wild shrimp as opposed to farm raised. You will taste the difference.

Categories     Very Low Carbs

Time 25m

Yield 12 pieces, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

12 jumbo shrimp, 12-16 count per pound, peeled and deveined
12 slices thin bacon
kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • If your shrimp are not deveined when you buy them, use kitchen shears to cut down the back of the shrimp (the top or longer side) and remove the shell. You can leave the tail on or off, your preference (I remove it). With a pairing knife, slice into the shrimp along the backside and remove the vein if you see one.
  • Also do not forget to remove the second vein along the bottom of the shrimp! You won't have to make a very deep cut there, just a slight score and you can scrape that smaller vein out. Note that if your shrimp did come deveined from the market, it will still have this smaller vein everytime so do remove it. Then rinse the shrimp under cold running water and pat dry with a paper towel.
  • Lay a slice of bacon out on your cutting board and start wrapping the tail end of the shrimp at the small end of the bacon. As you tightly wrap, overlap each layer of the bacon until you get to the end. If you get to the end of the shrimp when you're halfway through the bacon, you're wrapping it too wide, try again.
  • I like to sprinkle a tiny bit of kosher salt on each side, but that is my preference.
  • Heat a heavy bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. If you use a cast iron skillet, you won't need any oil as the shrimp will not stick, otherwise add just enough to coat the bottom. Sear the shrimp on each side for maybe 30 seconds and then finish them in the oven for about 6-8 minutes.
  • Eat them with a knife and fork and enjoy!

GRILLED BACON-WRAPPED SHRIMP



Grilled Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp image

Marinate shrimp in tequila and garlic, wrap them in bacon and grill them with lime.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 55m

Yield 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 7

16 jumbo shrimp, peeled, de-veined, and tail on (about 1 1/4 pounds)
1/2 cup tequila, preferably Anejo
4 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for brushing the grill grates
16 slices bacon (not thick cut)
2 limes, each cut into 6 wedges

Steps:

  • Toss the shrimp in a large bowl with the tequila, garlic and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes up to 1 hour.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat.
  • Drain the shrimp and then toss with the oil and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Wrap each shrimp with a slice of bacon. Thread 2 shrimp and 2 lime pieces on each skewer, alternating between the two.
  • Lightly oil the grill grates and grill until the bacon is crisp and shrimp are firm, flipping as needed, about 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use large shrimp (21-25 count) for a more substantial appetizer.
  • Pat the shrimp dry before wrapping them in bacon to prevent the bacon from becoming soggy.
  • Wrap the shrimp tightly in bacon so that it doesn't unravel while cooking.
  • Use a toothpick to secure the bacon if needed.
  • Cook the shrimp on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to make cleanup easy.
  • Bake the shrimp at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the shrimp are cooked through.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Shrimp wrapped in bacon is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your guests.
