- Dip each shrimp in your glaze and place back on baking sheet. Spoon any remaining glaze on to the shrimp
- Cover in aluminum foil and bake for approximately 20 minutes depending on your oven
Notes
I have made this recipe twice. The first time I did not have any brown sugar so I used regular sugar and it worked out fine. I just reduce the amount from 2 tablespoons to 1 tablespoon.
Also, you can avoid a step by just wrapping the shrimp with bacon, dipping it into the glaze and then placing on the baking sheet. I did it my way because I wanted to count how many shrimp I needed with the amount of bacon strips I had.
If you don't like a smokey flavor, buying regular bacon instead of smoked will help. Also using regular paprika instead of smoked will cut out the smokiness as well.
