Raw Shrimp for our Habanero-Honey Glazed Bacon Wrapped Shrimp

I grabbed some large prawns for this, but you can use smaller shrimp if you need to. Just be sure to peel them, though you can leave on the tails.

Next, season the shrimp, then wrap each of them in a half slice of bacon. Like so.

Next, whip up your glaze, which includes pepper jelly, diced habanero pepper, butter, lime juice, and a few drizzles of honey.

Make sure to get them nicely coated.

Heat your oven to 425 degrees F and bake them for 10 minutes. The bacon will cook through and will keep the shrimp nicely moist.

After 10 minutes, brush on a bit more of the habanero-honey glaze, then increase the oven temperature to BROIL. Broil the bacon-wrapped shrimp another 5 minutes. The bacon will crisp up very nicely.

Pull them out, give them all one final brush with the glaze, then sprinkle them with some extra chili flakes and fresh chopped herbs.

Serve them up! You will love these. Let’s make this a day to remember, because this Bacon Wrapped Shrimp recipe won’t be forgotten anytime soon.

It’s definitely a favorite.

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Season the shrimp with chili powder, garlic powder, and salt and pepper.
  • Slice the bacon in half and wrap each shrimp with the bacon. Stretch the bacon a bit in order to get the bacon ends to meet together on one side of each shrimp.
  • Lay the bacon wrapped shrimp, bacon seems down, onto a baking sheet.
  • Make your glaze by mixing together the pepper jelly, honey, butter, lime juice and salt in a small bowl. Brush the bacon wrapped shrimp with part of the glaze.
  • Bake them for 10 minutes.
  • Brush the bacon wrapped shrimp with a bit more glaze, then set the oven to BROIL. Broil the shrimp for 5 more minutes, or until the bacon becomes nice and crispy.
  • Remove, then brush with the remaining glaze. Sprinkle with chili flakes and fresh herbs.

Notes

Makes about 12 pieces.
Heat Factor: Medium. The sweetness of the honey balances out the heat from the habanero. You’ll notice some spice factor, though it isn’t overly hot. Nice, pleasant, delicious.
