If you prefer your bacon more crisp or if you’re using smaller shrimp, precook bacon in the oven or in a skillet before wrapping around the shrimp. Make sure it’s still flexible after cooking or it won’t wrap around with breaking. You don’t want undercooked bacon OR overcooked shrimp!

After preparing shrimp and rinsing, place on a paper towel or pat dry. Combine bourbon, barbecue sauce, honey, olive oil, and pepper in a large zip-lock bag and shake to mix. Add shrimp and shake again to thoroughly coat. Place in the refrigerator to marinate for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (232 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with foil.

Wrap a strip of bacon around the shrimp tightly and secure with a toothpick. Place on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with remaining shrimp.

Place in the oven to bake for 5 minutes. Flip the shrimp over and bake an additional 5 minutes or until shrimp is pink.

Remove from the oven and baste with extra barbecue sauce. Serve right away!

Enjoy!
