Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 16 large shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 2 jalapeños sliced into strips
  • 8 slices bacon halved
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 pinch black pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400F and set a wire rack over a sheet pan.
  2. Toss the shrimp with olive oil, smoked paprika, and pepper.
  3. Lay a jalapeño strip against each shrimp and wrap with a half slice of bacon.
  4. Secure each with a toothpick and arrange on the rack.
  5. Roast 15 to 18 minutes until the bacon crisps and shrimp turn pink.

Notes

A quick broil at the end gets the bacon extra crackly.
