Ingredients

  • 16 jumbo shrimp, fresh, raw, jumbo (11-15)

  • ¾ teaspoon Cajun seasoning

  • 8 strips thin sliced bacon, cut in half

  • 16 toothpicks

  • 2 tablespoons hot honey (such as Mike's Hot Honey)

Directions

  1. Place shrimp on a plate and sprinkle both sides with Cajun seasoning. Wrap each shrimp with 1 narrow strip of bacon and fasten with a toothpick. Refrigerate for 25 to 30 minutes.

  2. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  3. Place bacon-wrapped shrimp in the air fryer basket and cook in the preheated air fryer for 3 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until bacon is lightly crispy, 4 to 5 minutes more. You may have to do 2 batches depending on the size of your air fryer.

  4. Remove to a serving plate and drizzle with hot honey. Serve hot, being watchful of any toothpicks.

Cook’s Note

I like to use extra jumbo shrimp, which are 16-20 per pound. 

Cutting the bacon lengthwise into narrow strips makes it easier to wrap around the shrimp.

Refrigerating the shrimp, as well as using thin-cut bacon, will prevent the shrimp from overcooking in the time it takes to crisp the bacon.
