Bacon-Wrapped, Jalapeno Stuffed Shrimp
Tailgate in your living room with these bacon-wrapped, jalapeno stuffed shrimp. These flavorful appetizers pack a flavor punch that will knock your socks off!
Ingredients
- 1 lb. large shrimp peeled and deveined
- 2 jalapeños seeds removed, julienned
- 1 lb. thick cut bacon (applewood smoked preferred) cut into thirds
- 4 limes zested and juiced
- 1 cup honey
- ⅛ cup cilantro chopped (You can substitute with chopped parsley, if preferred)
- skewers I prefer 12" metal skewers
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Place 1 slice of jalapeño into the groove of a deveined shrimp. Wrap shrimp in bacon strip (be sure each slice of bacon has been cut into thirds!). Secure bacon around shrimp with a metal skewer. Repeat this process for all shrimp.
- Whisk together lime juice and honey. Divide the mixture between two bowls: one bowl will be for basting the raw shrimp and one bowl will be for a dipping sauce.
- Add lime zest and chopped cilantro to dipping sauce and set aside.
- Using the basting sauce and a silicone brush, baste shrimp and place into the oven for 10 minutes, flipping halfway (this is why I prefer using skewers and not toothpicks).
- After 10 minutes, remove shrimp from oven and turn broiler on to high. Carefully place rack under the broiler element, leaving enough room for the tray of shrimp skewers.
- Baste shrimp with remainder of basting sauce.
- Broil shrimp skewers for 5 minutes on each side, until bacon is crisp.
- Let the shrimp cool slightly and serve with dipping sauce. Enjoy!
