AIR-FRIED BACON-WRAPPED SHRIMP

Air-Fried Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp image

Simple to put together with only 4 ingredients, but big on flavor! I like to use "extra jumbo" size shrimp, which are 16-20 per pound. Cutting the bacon lengthwise into narrow strips makes it easier to wrap. Refrigerating the shrimp, as well as using thin-cut bacon, will prevent the shrimp from overcooking in the time it takes to crisp the bacon.

Ingredients

16 jumbo Shrimp, fresh, raw, jumbo (11-15)
¾ teaspoon Cajun seasoning
8 strips thin sliced bacon, cut in half
16 toothpicks
2 tablespoons hot honey (such as Mike's Hot Honey®)

Steps:

Place shrimp on a plate and sprinkle both sides with Cajun seasoning. Wrap each shrimp with 1 narrow strip of bacon and fasten with a toothpick. Refrigerate for 25 to 30 minutes.
Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Air-fry shrimp for 3 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until bacon is lightly crispy, 4 to 5 minutes more. You may have to do 2 batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Remove shrimp to a plate and drizzle with hot honey. Serve immediately, being watchful of any toothpicks.

Ingredients

1 pound raw shrimp (peeled with tails on)
1 pound bacon (12 slices cut in half)
1 jalapeño pepper (seeded and cut into thin strips)
1 cup cocktail sauce
1/4 cup chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (chopped fine)

Steps:

Preheat the air fryer at 390F for 5 minutes while you prep the shrimp.
Cut your bacon slices in half.
If you haven't already, slice the jalapeño thin.
Peel the shrimp leaving the tail end on if you want to.
Place a shrimp and a thin slice of jalapeño on one end of the shrimp.
Roll the shrimp in the bacon wrapping it tightly.
Chill the shrimp for 10-15 minutes to set the bacon.
Mix the cocktail sauce and the chopped chipotle peppers together.
Chill until ready to serve with the bacon wrapped shrimp.
Air Fry the shrimp by placing them in the air fryer basket.
Don't crowd them and make sure there is space between them so the bacon can crisp and the pieces don't stick together.
Fry for 5 minutes at 390F.
Flip the shrimp and air fry for another 4-5 minutes.
Remove to a plate with a paper towel while you cook the remaining shrimp. Feel free to place in the oven at the lowest setting to keep warm.
Serve with Chipotle Cocktail Sauce!
