For extra flavor, marinate the shrimp in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic before seasoning with Cajun spices. Soaking the toothpicks prevents them from burning in the air fryer. Adjust air frying time based on your air fryer model and the thickness of the bacon. If you don't have hot honey, a drizzle of regular honey with a pinch of cayenne pepper works well.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Shrimp: Gently pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Place them in a bowl and sprinkle evenly with the Cajun seasoning, ensuring each shrimp is coated. (5 minutes)
02
StepWrap with Bacon: Take each seasoned shrimp and wrap it snugly with a half-strip of bacon. Secure the bacon with a soaked toothpick. Repeat with the remaining shrimp. Arrange the wrapped shrimp on a plate, cover, and refrigerate to allow the flavors to meld. (30 minutes)
03
StepPreheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). This ensures the bacon crisps up beautifully. (5 minutes)
04
StepAir Fry to Perfection: Arrange the bacon-wrapped shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket, being careful not to overcrowd. You may need to work in batches. Air fry for 3 minutes, then flip the shrimp and continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes, or until the bacon is golden brown and crispy, and the shrimp is cooked through. (8-10 minutes per batch)
05
StepDrizzle and Serve: Transfer the air-fried bacon-wrapped shrimp to a serving platter. Drizzle generously with hot honey. Serve immediately, reminding guests to be mindful of the toothpicks.
