- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
- ¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Pepper
- 12 slices Bacon cut in half

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Place 12 bacon slices (cut in half to make 24 pieces) on a wire rack set over a foil-lined baking sheet.
- Bake the bacon for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate to cool slightly. Leave the oven on.

- Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Serve with lemon wedges, if desired, and enjoy.
Notes
Do not use thick cut bacon for this recipe. It takes too long to cook and is difficult to wrap around the shrimp.
Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
