Bacon Wrapped Shrimp with Rollicking Buckaroo Pepper Jam Glaze make a wonderful party appetizer. The pepper jam glaze adds a little sweetness plus some heat.
Ingredients
1/3 cup medium pepper jam
2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1-pound large fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails left on if desired
1/2-pound bacon, each piece cut in half lengthwise
Instructions
In a small bowl, stir together pepper jam, oil, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Set aside.
Wrap a piece of bacon around each shrimp and secure with a toothpick.
Heat a 12-inch cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Place shrimp in pan and cook 2 minutes. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, just use a nonstick pan.
Flip shrimp over, brush with pepper jam mixture and cook until cooked through, about 2 more minutes.
Remove toothpicks and serve.
