Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Juice of 1 lemon
1 clove garlic, grated
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
1 pound (about 24) large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails intact
12 slices bacon, halved

Steps:

  • Position a rack 3 to 4 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler. Whisk the lemon juice, garlic, paprika, thyme, olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a shallow baking dish. Add the shrimp and toss to coat; marinate in the refrigerator, 20 minutes.
  • Turn the shrimp in the marinade to coat well. One at a time, remove each shrimp and wrap with a piece of bacon; secure with a toothpick if desired. Place seam-side down on a baking sheet. Spoon any remaining marinade over the shrimp. Broil, turning the shrimp once, until the bacon is slightly crisp and the shrimp are cooked through, about 5 minutes.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 slices bacon (halved crosswise (see recipe note))
16 large shrimp (peeled except for the tail and deveined)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt (or 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425˚F.
  • Arrange bacon slices, leaving space around each, on oven safe rack placed inside a baking sheet. Bake 5 to 10 minutes depending on the thickness of your bacon. It should still be pliable when you remove it from the oven.
  • Meanwhile, place shrimp in a medium bowl. Add olive oil, salt and pepper; toss to coat.
  • When partially cooked bacon slices are cool enough to handle (about 5 minutes after you remove from oven), wrap each slice of bacon around one raw shrimp, securing with a toothpick; return to oven safe rack. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
  • Bake 10 minutes more until shrimp are pink and bacon is cooked through. Serve.
