Step one

Cut each slice of bacon into 3 pieces. Wrap each shrimp with 1 piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
Step two

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet set over medium heat; cook shrimp, in 2 batches, for 3 to 5 minutes per side or until bacon is crispy and shrimp are pink and cooked through.
Step three

Transfer to paper towel–lined plate. Arrange on serving platter with VH® Plum Dipping Sauce.

Tips

Alternatively, you can grill the bacon-wrapped shrimp. First, par-cook the bacon for a few minutes so that some of the fat has rendered but the bacon is still pliable enough to wrap around the shrimp (this helps to prevent flare-ups on the barbecue). Preheat the grill to medium heat before cooking the bacon-wrapped shrimp.
