How to Make Bacon Wrapped Shrimp

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Lay out bacon slices on a clean surface. If using thick-cut bacon, slice it in half lengthwise.
  3. Wrap one piece of bacon around each shrimp, tucking in the ends to secure.
  4. Place the bacon-wrapped shrimp onto the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp and the shrimp is pink and cooked through. Keep a close eye on them to prevent overcooking.
  6. Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Enjoy immediately!
