# The Ingredients You'll Need:
→ Seafood
01 -
1 pound jumbo cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
→ Meat
02 -
10 slices bacon, halved
→ Seasonings and Sauces
03 -
1 teaspoon garlic salt
04 -
1 teaspoon chili powder
05 -
1 tablespoon soy sauce
06 -
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
07 -
¼ cup barbecue sauce
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
In a medium bowl, combine garlic salt, chili powder, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and barbecue sauce. Stir thoroughly to create an even marinade.
02 -
Add the cooked shrimp to the marinade. Using a spoon, toss until each shrimp is fully coated with the sauce.
03 -
Wrap each shrimp with half a slice of bacon. Secure each wrapped shrimp by skewering it with a toothpick or metal skewer.
04 -
Pour the remaining marinade over the bacon-wrapped shrimp to ensure all pieces are well covered.
05 -
Preheat the air fryer to 370°F (188°C) for 4 minutes.
06 -
Place the wrapped shrimp in the air fryer basket. Optionally, drizzle any remaining sauce over them. Select the shrimp cooking program if available; otherwise, set the temperature to 360°F (182°C) and cook for 8 minutes until bacon is crisp and shrimp are heated through.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Using pre-cooked shrimp prevents overcooking and ensures the shrimp remain tender. If using raw shrimp, increase cooking time by 2-3 minutes in the air fryer.
