Bacon Jalapeno Shrimp- with a sweet & spicy pineapple dipping sauce
Everything about this sounds amazing. It’s sweet and spicy and really easy to make. If you’re a shrimp lover like me then you will love this appetizer.
My favorite thing other than bacon haha, is how the jalapeno shrivels up. I also like using pickled jalapeno too. Either one works great, but I do love a fresh slice of jalapeno.
Now let’s talk about the sauce. This sauce is sweet and spicy and only takes a few minutes to make. It only has 4 ingredients and is birsting with flavor. This sauce can be used for lots of other dishes too like grilled or fried chicken sandwiches, and chicken wings 🤤. I will be making this sauce again soon.
This recipe is great for parties. If your crunched on time you can prepare it the day before and pop in under the broiler when you are ready to serve. I’m definitely making this during football season.
I hope you enjoy 🥰
