Bacon Wrapped Shrimp with Avocado Lime Sauce

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.
