Preparation Steps

• Gather the tools and ingredients for the recipe.
• Clean the shrimp, peel, and devein.
• Wash the jalapeños, remove the stems and seeds, and cut lengthwise into ⅛-inch strips.

Cooking Instructions

For the Roasted Jalapeños

• Crank the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Add the sliced jalapeños to an oven-proof dish. Coat with olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a couple of 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°F (200°C).
• Line a baking sheet with foil. Place the bacon on a single layer of the sheet.
• Bake for 14-15 minutes, until the bacon is cooked but still soft.
• Remove and let cool.

Preparing the shrimp to cook

• Grab a shrimp and lay one of the strips of the roasted jalapeño down the back.
• Take a piece of bacon. Start at the opposite end of 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-bottomed pan or cast iron pan over medium-high heat.
• Add the butter and olive oil.
• When the butter is foaming, add 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!
