Method

Preparation

1

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for cooking the shrimp.

2

Prepare the Shrimp

In a large bowl, combine the shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the shrimp are well coated.

3

Cut the Bacon

Cut the bacon strips in half, creating smaller pieces that will wrap around the shrimp.

Assembly

4

Wrap the Shrimp

Take one piece of bacon and wrap it around a shrimp, starting from the thicker end and spiraling down to the tail. Secure with a toothpick if necessary. Repeat with remaining shrimp.

Cooking

5

Arrange on Baking Sheet

Place the wrapped shrimp on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they are not touching each other.

6

Bake the Shrimp

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the shrimp are cooked through, turning once halfway through the cooking time.

Serving

7

Garnish and Serve

Once cooked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges and cocktail sauce if desired.
