Bacon Wrapped Shrimp (2) Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Shrimp

   Start by preparing the large shrimp. Ensure they are peeled and deveined. Rinse them under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

2. 2

   Stuff the Shrimp

   In a mixing bowl, take the Cotija cheese and add garlic powder and black pepper. Mix well. Take each shrimp and stuff about 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture into the back of each shrimp.

3. 3

   Wrap with Bacon

   Cut each bacon slice in half. Wrap one half of the bacon around each stuffed shrimp, ensuring that the cheese is well enclosed. Secure the bacon with a toothpick if necessary.

4. 4

   Preheat the Oven

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly brush it with olive oil to prevent sticking.

5. 5

   Arrange and Bake

   Place the bacon-wrapped shrimp on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the shrimp are cooked through.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

   Once cooked, remove the shrimp from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
