Step 1 Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with foil.

Step 2 Arrange the bacon strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3 Bake for 8 minutes or until the bacon is partially cooked but still pliable. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. ⚡ Flash Tip: The bacon should bend easily without breaking. 🚫 Avoid This Mistake: Fully crisp bacon won’t wrap around the shrimp.

Step 4 In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and minced garlic. Toss until evenly coated. ⚡ Flash Tip: Toss gently so every shrimp gets coated. 🚫 Avoid This Mistake: Overmixing can tear delicate shrimp.

Step 5 Wrap each shrimp with one piece of bacon and secure it with a toothpick.

Step 6 Arrange the wrapped shrimp on the baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one. ⚡ Flash Tip: Leave space around each shrimp for crispier bacon. 🚫 Avoid This Mistake: Crowding the pan causes steaming instead of roasting.

Step 7 Drizzle any remaining oil and garlic mixture over the shrimp.

Step 8 Bake for 10 minutes or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.

Step 9 Turn the oven to broil and cook for about 2 minutes, or until the bacon becomes crispy. ⚡ Flash Tip: Watch closely during broiling. 🚫 Avoid This Mistake: Bacon can go from crispy to burnt in under a minute.

Step 10 Carefully remove the toothpicks and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
