These delicious bite-size Bacon Wrapped Shrimp are the best quick and easy appetizer, perfect for game day, holidays, and special occasions. Made with juicy shrimp wrapped in crispy bacon and brushed with a sweet and spicy honey Cajun glaze. So yummy!
Everyone loves bacon-wrapped shrimp. Perfect for any holiday or occasion, they’re delicious, perfectly bite-sized, and so easy to make. Brushed with a yummy honey Cajun glaze for an unforgettable and perfectly balanced appetizer that is sweet, salty, and just a little spicy. Whether you bake, grill, or cook them in the air fryer, you can’t go wrong with juicy shrimp wrapped in bacon.
Start by lining a large baking sheet with parchment paper and preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. You may also bake them on a baking rack placed inside a baking sheet. For easier cleanup, line the baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Cut each slice of bacon into four smaller pieces. This will give you a total of 32 smaller bacon strips.
Wrap each peeled and deveined shrimp with a one-quarter piece of bacon and secure it with a toothpick. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet in a single layer with space between each shrimp.
Meanwhile, whisk the honey, olive oil, Cajun seasoning, salt, black pepper, and cayenne together in a small bowl. Use a pastry brush to brush over both sides of the shrimp.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and additional honey, if desired.
For this recipe, the shrimp are baked at 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
We’re baking them in the oven for about 15-20 minutes.
Serve this yummy shrimp appetizer for the holidays, at parties or events, and game day! They’re always a huge hit! Best served immediately, or shortly after coming out of the oven, sometimes I’ll drizzle them with a little honey for a little added sweetness.
