Let’s be honest, bacon makes everything better. Egg bites? Better with bacon. Maple donuts? Add bacon. Best companion for Brussels sprouts? You guessed it, bacon. Crispy, chewy, and salty, this culinary jack-of-all-trades can elevate the flavor profile of even the most revered classic recipe. Plus, bacon is keto and Paleo-friendly, and totally Primal.
In this easy bacon-wrapped shrimp recipe, savory pork slices are partially cooked and then wrapped around the shrimp for a perfectly crisped coat. While typically served on toothpicks or skewers as an appetizer, our version is tasty and filling enough to be a main meal. Pair this savory shrimp with Primal Kitchen Avocado Lime Sauce & Dressing for a delicious, dippable dish that’s perfect for parties or family dinners.
These deliciously crispy bacon-wrapped shrimp skewers are a quick but palate-pleasing appetizer or main dish. Pair them with cauliflower rice or crispy potatoes for a filling meal that will impress even the pickiest dinner guests.
Cut the bacon slices into half strips. Pre-cook your bacon in the air fryer at 400°F for 5 minutes until slightly brown.
Combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Using a basting brush, coat both sides of each shrimp, then wrap with a half-strip of bacon and skewer.
Lay the shrimp on the air fryer tray in a single layer, leaving a small space between each shrimp.
Air fry at 400°F for 4 minutes, then turn the shrimp and continue cooking for 5-7 minutes longer or until bacon is crisp and shrimp are bright in color. Thread several shrimp onto a skewer for easy serving.
Serve with a small bowl of Primal Kitchen Avocado Lime Sauce & Dressing for dipping, and enjoy!
