Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a mixing bowl, toss the shrimp with Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Wrap the Shrimp

    Take a bacon strip and wrap it around each seasoned shrimp. Secure with a toothpick if necessary.

  3. 3

    Bake the Shrimp

    Place the wrapped shrimp on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the shrimp is cooked through.

  4. 4

    Make the Pilsner Butter Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the pilsner beer and lemon juice, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly reduced. Stir in chopped parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the shrimp from the oven and serve hot, drizzled with the pilsner butter sauce.
