Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cajun Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp.
Step 1
Begin by generously sprinkling Cajun seasoning on both sides of the shrimp, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Step 2
Next, take half a strip of bacon and wrap it around each shrimp, securing it with a toothpick to keep everything in place.
Step 3
For optimal flavor and adherence, refrigerate the bacon-wrapped shrimp for 25 to 30 minutes.
Step 4
While they chill, preheat your air fryer to a sizzling 400ยฐF (200ยฐC).
Step 5
Once ready, arrange the shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket, allowing space for the hot air to circulate.
Step 6
Cook for 3 minutes, then carefully flip each shrimp to ensure even crispiness.
Step 7
Continue cooking for an additional 4 to 5 minutes, or until the bacon reaches that perfect crispy texture.
Step 8
Depending on your air fryer's capacity, you may need to cook in batches.
Step 9
Once cooked, transfer the shrimp to a serving plate and drizzle with hot honey for a delightful sweet and spicy kick.
Step 10
Serve immediately, but remember to remove the toothpicks before indulging in this mouthwatering treat.
Step 11
Enjoy the burst of flavors with every bite!.
