Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound extra large peeled, deveined shrimp (this was 24 for me)
  • 1/4 cup BBQ sauce sugar-free if keto
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar brown sugar monk fruit or swerve if keto
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 8 slices thin cut bacon

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl combine the BBQ sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar. 
  • Toss the shrimp in half of the BBQ sauce mixture and set aside.
  • Take each slice of thin-cut bacon and gently stretch it out. This will help prevent the bacon from shrinking as it cooks and makes it easier to wrap the shrimp. Once you have stretched the bacon, cut each piece into thirds. 
  • Wrap each shrimp with 1/3 slice of bacon and lay on a baking sheet, seam side down. If desired, you can use toothpicks to help secure the bacon. 
  • Once all of the shrimp has been wrapped, brush the tops with the remaining BBQ sauce. 

Oven Instructions:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. 
  • Cook the bacon-wrapped shrimp for 12-15 minutes until the shrimp is cooked through.
  • If desired, broil for 1-2 minutes to crisp the bacon even more and brush with additional BBQ sauce before serving. 
  • Air Fryer Instructions: 
  • Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F. 
  • Cook the shrimp for 8 minutes, seam side down. Once the cooking time has ended, cook an additional 2-3 minutes until the shrimp is cooked through and the bacon is crisp. 
  • If desired, brush with additional BBQ sauce before serving.
