Ingredients

16 jumbo shrimp, fresh, raw, jumbo (11-15)
0.75 tsp Cajun seasoning
8 strips thin-sliced bacon, halved
16 toothpicks
2 tbsp hot honey (such as Mike's Hot Honey®)

Directions

Step 1
Place the shrimp on a plate and season both sides with Cajun seasoning. Wrap each shrimp with half a strip of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Refrigerate for 25 to 30 minutes.
Step 2
Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (400°F).
Step 3
Arrange the bacon-wrapped shrimp in the air fryer basket and cook at 200°C (400°F) for 3 minutes. Flip the shrimp and continue cooking until the bacon is lightly crispy, about 4-5 minutes more. You may need to cook in two batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Step 4
Transfer the cooked shrimp to a serving plate and drizzle with hot honey. Serve hot, and remind guests to watch out for toothpicks.
