Bacon Wrapped Shrimp and Dates image

Wrapping bacon around shrimp and dates before broiling keeps them moist during cooking and adds that ineffable bacon taste; pair them with blue cheese for a satisfying appetizer.

Yield Makes 1 dozen of each

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon chili sauce
12 pieces thinly sliced bacon (10 to 12 ounces)
12 pitted dates
12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails left intact (12 ounces)

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, and chili sauce.
  • Heat broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Cut 3 inches off each slice of the bacon. Wrap each 3-inch piece around a date, and place seam-side down on prepared baking sheet. Wrap each shrimp with a piece of the remaining long strips of bacon, trying not to overlap, and place seam-side down on the same baking sheet. Brush the tops of the dates and the shrimp with half the honey mixture.
  • Broil until tops are well browned, about 4 minutes. Turn over dates and shrimp, brush with remaining honey mixture, and broil until well browned and shrimp are cooked through, rotating pan if necessary, about 4 minutes more. Remove dates if they are well browned before shrimp are done.

These were so easy to make and so delicious! I used jumbo shrimp and they were perfect. The bacon cooked up crispy and the dates added a nice sweetness. I will definitely be making these again.

These bacon-wrapped shrimp and dates were an absolute hit at my last party! The combination of sweet and savory was perfect, and the shrimp were cooked to perfection. I'll definitely be making these again.
