Ingredients
- ¼ cup light or dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- ¾ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 pound jumbo shrimp (16/25 count), peeled and deveined
- 1 (12-ounce) package bacon (not thick-cut)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F and have ready a rimmed baking sheet lined with nonstick aluminum foil.
- Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels, and set aside.
- Cut the bacon strips in half crosswise and wrap each shrimp with a ½ slice of bacon, ever so slightly overlapping as you loop it around. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
- Combine the sugar and all of the spices in a small bowl, sprinkle a generous pinch of the brown sugar-spice mixture across the tops of the bacon-wrapped shrimp, and pat to adhere.
- Bake for about 7 minutes. Turn on the broiler and do not step away. Once the brown sugar begins to bubble and caramelize on top of the bacon and the shrimp are fully cooked through, about 2-3 minutes, remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
