Bacon Wrapped Teriyaki Shrimp Appetizer
Are you looking for an easy appetizer for St Patrick’s Day or any time for that matter? This recipe is from the 1950’s and has only three ingredients and is SO good, it’s bacon & shrimp after all.
In a plastic bag, add the shrimp and teriyaki marinade. Turn to coat all the shrimp then refrigerate for 20 minutes. Drain saving the marinade in a bowl.
Wrap the large shrimp with a half slice of bacon, trying not to overlap the bacon much. My shrimp was smaller so I cut my bacon into three pieces. Place on a large, shallow baking sheet.
Brush some of the leftover marinade on top of the bacon.
Bake in a preheated 425º oven for 15 minutes or until the bacon is brown and the shrimp is pink and opaque. Add toothpicks to serve.
TIP: Do not use thick cut bacon or it will not cook completely when the shrimp is cooked through.

That looks delicious
Thank you Derrick, you can’t go wrong with shrimp nand bacon.
I never would’ve thought of putting bacon and shrimp together like this, what a great idea and recipe. It’s like a seafood pigs in blankets. 🙂
Yes what a perfect way to name it! Who doesn’t love pigs in the blanket! Thank you Paul!
Sounds so good!
Thank you Linda, you can’t go wrong with shrimp and bacon.
I’ve wrapped scallops before but never even thought of wrapping shrimp! What a great idea Diane
How funny I have never wrapped scallops but I have dates. Lol Thank you Susan!
Scallops with bacon are really good!
Oh that looks so delicious, Diane. I’m a big shrimp lover and anything with bacon is automatically a flavour bomb!
Thank you! I actually enjoyed this better as leftovers and cold, but I surely ate them hot too!
I think I remember my parents serving this at parties when I was young
It’s an oldie but a goodie!
Well Diane, I could see how easy it would be to get carried away with eating these tasty appetizers if they were put in front of me and I forgot how to share. 🙂
Share, what is that? Haha They make for a nice appetizer as they will disappear so fast you won’t need to keep them warm.
Ha ha – yes, no worries about making room in the fridge for the leftovers!
Could I have a plate of these please?!!!
Absolutely!
