Maple Bacon Wrapped Shrimp Food

MAPLE BBQ GLAZED BACON WRAPPED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375 F degrees. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil, this will save you from having to scrub your baking sheet plus it helps with crisping up the bacon all around. Place a cookie rack on top of the baking sheet. This will help the bacon crisp up all around the shrimp.
• Remove the shells from the shrimp, but keep the tail on. Devein the shrimp using a pairing knife, if needed.
• In a small bowl whisk together the maple syrup and BBQ sauce. Season the shrimp generously with salt and pepper.
• Wrap each shrimp with a piece of bacon. There is no need to secure it with toothpicks, the bacon should stick to the shrimp, just make sure to lay the bacon wrapped shrimp on the prepared baking sheet with the seam side down. Repeat with remaining shrimp and bacon.
• Brush each bacon wrapped shrimp generously with the maple syrup and BBQ sauce mixture.
• Bake the shrimp for 15 minutes. Then turn the broiler on and broil for 2 to 3 minutes more. You basically want to make sure the bacon is crisped up enough.
• If preferred, once the shrimp is cooked, brush with additional maple syrup and BBQ sauce mixture if you have any leftovers. Garnish with chopped chives and serve.

• Wrap each shrimp in a half piece of bacon and skewer with a small skewer or large toothpick. Arrange the shrimp on the wire rack and brush with half of the chili butter (1 of the bowls).
• Bake until the bacon is cooked, 5 to 10 minutes. With a clean brush, brush on more chili butter from the second bowl. Serve on a big platter and sprinkle with sliced green onions.
