Bacon Wrapped Shrimp with Avocado Lime Sauce
March 03, 2023
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.

Directions
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.
