How to Make Bacon Bites Flambe
Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
Pat shrimp dry with paper towels.
Wrap each shrimp with a half-slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
Arrange bacon-wrapped shrimp in a single layer in a shallow baking dish.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until bacon is crispy and shrimp is cooked through.
Carefully transfer the shrimp to a heatproof chafing dish or oven-safe serving dish.
In a small saucepan, gently warm the rum over low heat. (Do not boil)
Carefully pour the warm rum over the shrimp. Using a long lighter, ignite the rum. (Flambé should be done in a well-ventilated area)
Let the flames die down completely before serving immediately. Enjoy the delicious smoky-sweet flavor!
