Ingredients:

For the Shrimp:

  • 12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 6 slices of bacon, cut in half
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • salt and pepper, to taste

For the Garlic Aioli:

  • 1/3 cup mayo
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

  1. Move an oven rack to one position higher than the middle of your oven. Preheat your oven broiler to high heat and line a baking sheet with an oven safe rack. Spray the rack with cooking spray.
  2. Add the shrimp to a bowl and toss with the garlic, powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to coat.
  3. Wrap a half slice of bacon around each shrimp. Arrange the shrimp on the rack lined baking sheet.
  4. Broil the shrimp for about 6-8 minutes, until the bacon is crisp. Remove from the oven, carefully flip the shrimp, and broil for another 3 minutes or until the shrimp is cooked.
  5. While the shrimp is cooking, stir together the ingredients for the aioli in a small bowl.
  6. Serve the shrimp with aioli for dipping and your favorite keto vegetables.

Tip:

  • In place of aioli, you can use guacamole or low carb Ranch dressing for dipping.
