Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Total Time25 minutes
Servings: 30 shrimp (approximately)
Calories: 61kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 pound shrimp - peeled and deveined
  • 8 pieces bacon - cut into quarters
  • 2 tablespoons honey - plus more for serving
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning - or Old Bay Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne - optional
  • fresh parsley - to garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Cut the bacon slices into quarters (to make a total of 32 smaller pieces). Depending on how many shrimp you have, you may end up with a few pieces of extra bacon.
  • Wrap a quarter piece of bacon around each shrimp and secure it with a toothpick. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining shrimp.
  • In a small bowl, combine the honey, olive oil, Cajun seasoning, salt, black pepper, and cayenne. Use a pastry brush to brush over both sides of the shrimp.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the shrimp is cooked and the bacon is crispy. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and additional honey, if desired.

Notes

  • Nutritional information is an approximate calculation for 1 bacon-wrapped shrimp.
  • Leftovers: Store any leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • To make ahead, simply wrap the shrimp in bacon and place them in the refrigerator in an air-tight container for up to 24 hours ahead of time. When ready to bake, brush with the glaze and bake as instructed.
