How to make Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp?

I had some leftover bacon, lemon, and shrimp in the fridge, so I knew I had to use them to make the fantastic bacon-wrapped shrimp recipe from Food & Wine magazine.

This is a fantastic idea for the weekends, for game day, or simply as an appetizer to eat!

Bake bacon-wrapped shrimp for 20 minutes at 375F in the oven. For a crispy, slightly burnt finish, broil the bacon. Serve soon after taking the pan off the heat.

If you want to deep fry your bacon-wrapped shrimp, all you need to do is heat a little oil. The bacon should be crispy after one minute in the oil.
