Zesty Marinated Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp Recipe.
These lucky shrimp get a double flavor boost: a spicy, lemony marinade to bring out that fresh-from-the-ocean seafood flavor, and then a bacon wrapper for some delicious contrast. It’s like serving a seriously upgraded shrimp ring – and it’s not even much more effort. The shrimp need a couple hours of marinating to really get the flavor in, but they’re easy to put in the fridge a few hours before a party and then take out to quickly bake when the festivities are about to start.
