How To Make bacon wrapped stuffed shrimp w/praline drizzle

-
Step 6Using a melon baller or a tablespoon, generously “fill” each of the butterflied shrimp with the crab mixture
-
Step 7Take a slice of the bacon and carefully “wrap” it around each stuffed shrimp, making sure it’s covered from end to end
-
Step 8Arrange shrimp on the wire-racked pan and place in oven until cooked through, approximately 20 minutes.
-
Step 9Remove pan from over and drizzle maple praline syrup lightly over the cooked shrimp
-
Step 10Turn oven setting to broil and place shrimp back in the oven for another 5 minutes or until bacon has crisped.
