Shrimp Un-Wrapped in Bacon (Bear’s New Easy way)



OK—Here’s Bear again simplifying another Tasty Treat:
First I’ll give you my thoughts that will explain why I did this.
I love Shrimp, and I love Bacon, and I love them together.
However the only way I know of to cook a Shrimp wrapped in Bacon, is to overcook the Shrimp, while cooking the Bacon. Or you can Precook the Bacon, before you wrap the Shrimp.
Well that made me turn to the Method I did here. (Below)
So I cut all my Shrimp in Half, because I don’t want to shove a whole Shrimp in my mouth & not be able to enjoy the Great taste.
Then I cut a whole bunch of Bacon into little pieces, to go with my “Half-Shrimp” pieces.
Then I sautéed the Shrimp in a Pan, in butter, which is “By Far” my favorite way to cook Shrimp.
I also lined up all the Bacon Pieces in my Air Fryer Baking Pan, and put it in the #360 @ 380° until done to my liking.
Then I plated up, with a pile of Half-Shrimp on one side of my plate, and the short pieces of Bacon on the other side.
Then to enjoy, I just stab a piece of Bacon with My Fork, and then stick a Half-Shrimp on it, and that is my “Shrimp Wrapped in Bacon” Treat.
This was Awesome, and Will be done Many Times in My Future.


Thanks For Looking!

Bear

Won't be Much Longer. They'll go from here to some Paper Towels to drain the Bacon Fat:

Looks good Bear, can't go wrong with that combo no-matter how you do it.

Point for sure

Yeah, that's about as good as it gets. Those are some of my favorites. I made bacon wrapped shrimp 1 time, came out great, and I'll never do it again. Too much work. LOL. Now with your method, I may be able to enjoy this again. Thanks.
 
Bacon and Shrimp, just can't get much better than that.

Nice and easy.
FYI, my daughter makes appetizers with those two ingredients plus a pineapple chunk on a toothpick. They go fast.

Looks awesome and a lot less trouble then wrapping the shrimp with the bacon. Where's the Kelchner's cocktail sauce?
