Ready in: 41 mins

Ingredients

Makes: 30 bites

• 1/2 cup creamy Caesar salad dressing, divided
• 1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 15 bacon strips, cut in half width-wise
• 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and thinly sliced

Preparation method

Prep: 20 mins | Cook: 6 mins | Extra time: 15 mins, marinating

1. First, you’re gonna marinate the shrimp. Combine almost all the dressing and all of the shrimp in a large plastic resealable bag. Seal and refrigerate for 15 minutes. Remove shrimp and discard marinade.
2. While shrimp is marinating, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat just until cooked through but not crisp. (It’s going in the oven later, so you don’t want it overcooked.) Drain the fat off the skillet and save for another recipe.
3. Preheat broiler to High.
4. To build each shrimp bite, hold a slice of jalapeno and a shrimp together. Wrap with bacon and use a toothpick to hold it in place. Place on a baking pan.
5. Put the pan about 4 inches away from the flame/heating source. Broil shrimp for 3 minutes. Then flip and broil for another 3 minutes. Baste with any remaining dressing you have when you flip the shrimp bites.
