Ingredients
Method
- Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder if using.
- 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.
- Heat a large cast iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Add the ghee and let it melt completely.
- 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.
- During the last 2 minutes of cooking, drizzle the melted butter over the shrimp and baste them continuously for extra flavor and moisture.
- 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.
