My father and his Chinese “brother’s” recipe for the best deep fried shrimp is now famous in our town. You can even put these on the grill. For a sauce, ketchup and horseradish work great, but these are great by themselves!
Ready in: 50 mins

Ingredients

Makes: 32 shrimp

• 32 medium or large tiger shrimp
• 1 (4 ounce) can pickled jalapeno peppers
• 1 (1 pound) package thick-sliced bacon, cut in half
• toothpicks as needed
• vegetable oil, for frying

Preparation method

Prep: 30 mins | Cook: 20 mins

1. Peel shrimp but leave tails on. Butterfly shrimp deeply by cutting through back almost all the way but not in half.
2. Cut the jalapeno peppers into small slivers and stuff one into each shrimp. Wrap two or three times with bacon halves, and secure with a toothpick.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or wok to 350 degrees F.
4. Deep fry the shrimp in batches until the bacon is golden brown and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
