Bacon – Bacon can be any variety, from hickory smoke-flavored to maple bacon. Regular-cut bacon works best, thick cut doesn’t have enough time to crisp. Sauce – This sauce is a bit sweet and a bit spicy, use your favorite flavor of bbq sauce. Make them mild by skipping the sriracha.

Tips for Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp
Use large or jumbo shrimp. This size will cook just right once the bacon crisps. Prepare in advance and store in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. Cook just before serving. Thinner bacon works best. If using thick cut bacon, pre-cook it part way before wrapping the shrimp. A pineapple piece can be added to each shrimp skewer before baking. To make an entrée instead of an appetizer, thread several bacon-wrapped shrimp onto skewers, brush with sauce, and grill them all at once, flipping once.
