PREP TIME-30 mins COOK TIME-10 mins TOTAL TIME-40 mins

Ingredients

For the Marinade and Barbecue Sauce

¼ cup fish stock or water
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp prepared yellow mustard
1 tsp hot sauce, such as Tabasco
½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
½ tsp chili powder
½ tsp garlic Powder
½ tsp onion powder
¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
Bacon Wrapped Keto Shrimp
12 peeled and deveined frozen large shrimp,(21/25 count) thawed
6 slices bacon
Kosher salt
ground black pepper
Special Equipment
4 (12-inch) wooden skewers

Directions

Place the skewers in a container and cover with water; allow to soak for 20 to 30 minutes.
Marinate the keto shrimp: In a bowl or shallow dish, whisk together the fish stock, tomato paste, mustard, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper, if using. Add the shrimp and marinate for 20 minutes.
Preheat a grill to medium heat, or preheat the oven to 350°F.
Remove the shrimp from the marinade and set the shrimp aside. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Continue to simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced by one-quarter. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then transfer to a serving bowl. This is your barbecue sauce.
Cut the bacon slices in half crosswise and wrap each piece around a shrimp. Place 3 shrimp on each skewer.
Grill the keto shrimp for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or bake for 7 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. When the shrimp is slightly opaque, it is done.
Serve the keto shrimp with the barbecue sauce. Store leftover shrimp and sauce in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is bacon better grilled or fried?

For best results, use a griddle pan (if you don’t have one on hand, a regular frying pan will work just fine). By doing this, you tend to retain more of the fat, which is what eventually gives your bacon its rich flavor.

What temperature do you grill bacon?

If your grill has a temperature indicator, preheat it to between 250 and 375°F. If not, you can use a medium estimate for the heat. Avoid placing the bacon directly over the heat; instead, cook it indirectly. Remove it off the grill after an hour at 250–375°F.

Is it healthy to grill bacon?

Actually, half of the fat in bacon is monounsaturated fat, which lowers blood pressure and heart disease risk. So go ahead and fry your rashers in their own juices without fear. Wilson suggests frying rather than grilling because you can simply trim the fatty borders later.
