Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds large shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 12 slices bacon cut in half
  • 4 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder optional
  • 2 tablespoons ghee for cooking

Method
 

  1. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder if using.
  2. Take each shrimp and wrap it with a half slice of bacon, securing with a toothpick if needed. Make sure the bacon wraps around the shrimp snugly.
  3. Heat a large cast iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Add the ghee and let it melt completely.
  4. Place the bacon-wrapped shrimp in the pan, leaving space between each piece. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until the bacon is crispy and the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
  5. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, drizzle the melted butter over the shrimp and baste them continuously for extra flavor and moisture.
  6. Remove the shrimp from the pan and let them rest for 2 minutes. Remove toothpicks if used and serve immediately while hot and crispy.

Notes

For extra crispy bacon, you can partially cook the bacon strips for 2-3 minutes before wrapping the shrimp. Make sure not to overcook the shrimp as they can become rubbery - they are done when they turn pink and opaque. If cooking in batches, keep finished shrimp warm in a low oven while you finish the rest.
