Bacon Wrapped Shrimp
- 12 pieces bacon
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 2 pounds jumbo shrimp (peeled and deveined, 12 shrimp per pound)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons rooster sauce (sriracha sauce)
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet tray with foil.
- Heat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Add the bacon to the sheet tray and bake until it's halfway done and not yet crisp, about 8 minutes.
- Remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined-sheet tray to cool completely and drain.
- Whisk together the olive oil, garlic and lemon zest in a large bowl.
- Sprinkle the shrimp with salt and pepper and toss into the olive oil mixture.
- Let sit and marinate while the bacon cools, about 15 minutes.
- Add the honey, rooster sauce and smoked paprika to a small bowl and stir together until blended.
- Reserve.
- Once the bacon is cool, wrap each shrimp with the half slice of bacon and thread with a skewer.
- Thread the shrimp through the center of its body and through the bacon, securing it.
- Thread 3 shrimp per skewer.
- Grill the shrimp until the bacon is crisp and the shrimp is opaque and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
- Brush the shrimp on both sides with the glaze the last 3 minutes of grilling.
