Bacon Wrapped Shrimp With Passion Fruit Mustard And Avocado Recipes

BACON WRAPPED SHRIMP

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.
