Ingredients

1 lb. raw thawed shrimp about 16-20 peeled & deveined with tail on
7-8 strips of thinly sliced bacon about 6 oz.
¼ cup oil
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper

Dipping Sauce

¼ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon dijon

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Whisk together oil, brown sugar, Italian seasoning, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt & pepper in a large mixing bowl. Reserve 2 tablespoon of the marinade.
Toss the peeled, deveined shrimp into the marinade to coat well.
Remove 7-8 strips of bacon from package and cut into thirds.
One at a time, wrap shrimp with a strip of bacon around it starting at the head and ending at the tail. Cut off excess bacon if needed. Bacon should only slightly overlap.
Place shrimp cut side down onto a baking sheet, so the bacon does not unravel. Repeat with the remaining shrimp.
Bake for 15 minutes.
In the meantime, mix the ingredients for the shrimp sauce in a small bowl. Set aside.
Check your shrimp. If the bacon is golden brown on the bottom, flip and bake for another 5 minutes. If not, bake 5 more minutes before flipping. They’re ready when the bacon is crispy, golden brown and not unraveling.
Remove and brush remaining marinade over the shrimp. Serve hot with sauce on the side.
