Bacon Wrapped Shrimp with Uncle Clarence's Blueberry BBQ Sauce Recipe

 Ingredients: 

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

12 slices of bacon, halved

1 cup Uncle Clarence BBQ sauce with blueberries

1 tablespoon olive oil Salt and pepper to taste Toothpicks

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Prepare the Shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season them lightly with salt and pepper. Wrap with Bacon: Take a half slice of bacon and wrap it around each shrimp, securing it with a toothpick. The bacon should overlap slightly to ensure it stays wrapped during cooking. Brush with Olive Oil: Arrange the bacon-wrapped shrimp on the prepared baking sheet. Brush them lightly with olive oil to help the bacon crisp up.

Bake:

Place the shrimp in the oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp and the shrimp are cooked through. Glaze with BBQ Sauce: Remove the shrimp from the oven and brush generously with Uncle Clarence’s blueberry BBQ sauce. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to let the glaze set and caramelize slightly. Serve: Allow the shrimp to cool slightly before serving.

Enjoy them as an appetizer or pair them with your favorite side dishes for a delightful meal. This recipe combines the sweet and tangy flavors of the blueberry BBQ sauce with the savory taste of bacon and shrimp, creating a deliciously easy dish that's sure to impress!
