Sweet 'n' Smoky Shrimp

SERVES: 4

COOK TIME: 35 Min

These simply awesome Sweet 'n' Smoky Shrimp are packed with the ever trendy flavor of bacon! Whether for a party or "just because" you're going to surely want to give this deliciously easy crowd-pleaser a try!

What You'll Need

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large red onion, peeled, sliced in half, then each half thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
6 bacon slices, cut in half
12 jumbo raw shrimp, peeled, with tails on

What to Do

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Sprinkle onions with salt and saute 8 to 10 minutes, or until softened. Add vinegar and cook 6 to 8 minutes, or until vinegar reduces in half, stirring occasionally. Stir in brown sugar and continue cooking on low heat until liquid is absorbed and mixture is thick, 8 to 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Wrap a bacon slice around each shrimp and place on a baking sheet. Bake 6 minutes, turn over, and bake 2 to 3 additional minutes, or until bacon is crisp and shrimp is pink. Serve onion marmalade with shrimp.

8-9 min will not cook bacon. It needs to be pre-cooked halfway before wrappng the shrimp. The marmalade is excellent!

This sounds great. I've made something similar for years as an appetizer. I butterfly the shrimp and stuff with a spoonful of grated mozzarella, wrap with bacon and bake as above. When the shrimp are done, I spear with a toothpick and dip into warmed hickory flavored barbecue sauce. Very easy and always a hit.
