Bacon Wrapped Shrimp

Bacon Wrapped Shrimp is a crowd-pleasing dish perfect for any occasion. However, people often struggle with successfully marrying the two main ingredients, obtaining the right balance between their respective cooking times, and achieving crisp bacon without overcooking shrimp. Additionally, the seasoning and choice of additional flavors can influence the final taste of the dish to a large degree. To get the most out of Bacon Wrapped Shrimp, it's important to choose fresh ingredients. Jumbo shrimps work best for wrapping with bacon. Partially cooking the bacon before wrapping around the shrimp can help to achieve crispy bacon without overcooking the shrimp. You can use a toothpick to secure the bacon to the shrimp. Basting the bacon-wrapped shrimp with a glaze can bring an additional layer of flavor. A lesser known tip is to soak the toothpicks in water prior to use. This prevents them from burning when you broil or grill the shrimp. Also, broiling instead of baking can helps to achieve a more even and faster cook.
