Ingredients

Scale

Here’s what you’ll need to make Turkey Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp:

  • 12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 6 slices turkey bacon, cut in half
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Shrimp:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Season the Shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss the shrimp in the seasoning mixture until evenly coated.

Wrap the Shrimp with Turkey Bacon:

  1. Wrap the Shrimp: Take a half-slice of turkey bacon and wrap it around each shrimp, securing it with a toothpick if needed. The bacon should cover most of the shrimp, but leave the tail exposed.
  2. Arrange on the Baking Sheet: Place the bacon-wrapped shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Cook the Shrimp:

  1. Bake in the Oven: Bake the shrimp for 15-20 minutes, or until the turkey bacon is crispy and the shrimp are cooked through. If you prefer extra crispy bacon, broil for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking.
  2. Check for Doneness: Shrimp should be opaque and firm to the touch when fully cooked. The bacon should be golden and crispy.

Serve:

  1. Serve: Remove the shrimp from the oven and discard any toothpicks. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.
