This delicious shrimp appetizer is a definite crowd pleaser. Marinating the shrimp overnight gives them a great flavor. This is a great dish for impressing guests at a dinner party.

Notes

Use only white bread crumbs, brown crumbs or crusts will brown too fast during cooking.

Alternative method of preparation: Saute shrimp in combination of half butter and half cooking oil. When done, remove from skillet. Reduce marinade in skillet, pour over shrimp and serve.

Hi Donna - This recipe is a variation on traditional Angels on Horseback. We have corrected the recipe to include the instructions for the bacon. Thank you for calling this issue to our attention. -Editors of RecipeLion

Angels on horseback is traditionally BACON WRAPPED OYSTERS- I can see a substitution of shrimp for the oysters but where is the bacon.

The cooking instructions are a bit vague...how low is low and how many minutes until done??? I really want to try these, but shrimp are too expensive, here, to experiment.
