Ingredients

  • 12 Large Shrimp peeled and deveined. Tails are optional.
  • 2 Jalapenos seeds and stems removed. Cut lengthwise into ⅛” strips.
  • 12 Strips Bacon
  • 3 tablespoon Butter
  • 2 tablespoon Olive Oil

Instructions

For the Roasted Jalapenos

  • Crank the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Add the sliced jalapenos to an oven proof dish. Coat with olive oil, a pinch of salt and a couple grinds of pepper.
  • Roast for 30 minutes or until soft. Set aside to cool.

For the Bacon

  • Check out our How To Cook Bacon recipe or:
  • Increase the heat to 400 degrees.
  • Line a baking sheet with foil. Place the bacon in a single layer on the sheet.
  • Bake for 14-15 minutes or until the bacon is still soft.
  • Remove and let cool.

Preparing the shrimp to cook

  • Grab a shrimp and lay one of the strips of the roasted jalapeno down the back.
  • Take a piece of bacon. Start at the opposite end from the tail. Wrap the bacon toward the tail, and then tuck the bacon in under itself.
  • Place on a plate and repeat until all the shrimp are wrapped.

Cooking the bacon wrapped shrimp

  • Heat a heavy bottom pan or cast iron pan over medium-high heat.
  • Add the butter and olive oil.
  • When the butter is foaming, add in the shrimp, but do not overcrowd the pan.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes per side. The bacon will crisp and the shrimp will start to curl.
  • Remove when cooked and serve hot!
  • Yummy.
