We love a 3-ingredient recipe and boy does bacon makes everything better. Sweet and succulent grilled shrimp drenched in Spiceology Candied Bacon Sriracha and wrapped in bacon before being char grilled is the epitome of "Better with Bacon" - watch the recipe video below!
This exclusive Spiceology Candied Bacon Sriracha jar is only available at Walmart online and in store.
Tips from Chef Christian: This is a fairly straight forward approach to skewered bacon-wrapped shrimp. The key is not leaving the shrimp on the hot zone for too long. The bacon fat will cause flare ups and while one or two is a pleasant smoke and char flavor worthy of imparting, letting it get away from you will result in over cooked shrimp and bacon burn black.

Ingredients
-
1/4 cup Spiceology Candied Bacon Sriracha seasoning
-
2 lbs Tail-on Peeled and Deveined Jumbo Shrimp
-
1 pack Bacon
-
3-6 Stainless Steel Skewers
Directions
Pat shrimp dry and place in a large mixing bowl. Apply Spiceology Candied Bacon Sriracha seasoning and gently coat. Once coated, cover and refrigerate for ten minutes.
Remove from the fridge and wrap each individual shrimp in a single slice of bacon and skewer. Repeat this step placing 5-6 shrimp on each skewer until all shrimp are wrapped and skewered.
Preheat charcoal grill to 450 degrees with the coals off center stack on one side to give you a hot zone and a warm/indirect heat zone.
Place skewers over the hot zone and let sear on one side for 2-3 minutes or until a light char forms. Flip skewers and repeat the last step.
Move skewers off heat and let bacon finish cooking in the warm zone for 2 minutes. Make sure to cover the grill when finishing the shrimp in the warm zone.
Remove from the grill and let cool slightly. Enjoy. (And don't eat the tails lol.)
