How to Make Bacon Wrapped Shrimp

  1. Preheat your broiler to high.
  2. Wrap each shrimp with a slice of bacon and secure with two wooden toothpicks.
  3. In a small bowl, melt 2 tablespoons of shortening in the microwave or on the stovetop.
  4. Add 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice to the melted shortening. Stir until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth.
  5. Brush the bacon-wrapped shrimp generously with the cheese sauce.
  6. Place the shrimp on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Broil for 4 minutes per side, or until the bacon is crispy and the shrimp is pink and opaque. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  8. Remove from broiler, remove toothpicks, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
