Cajun Remoulade
- ¼ c mayo
- 2 T stone ground mustard
- 1 t smoked paprika
- ½ t mustard powder
- 1-2 t tabasco sauce
- 1 diced green onion

Instructions
-
Set oven to 400f, you will need 2 baking trays lined with parchment paper. On the first tray cut the bacon strips in half and lay the bacon out single file. Count out the pieces of shrimp and bacon so your have enough. Par bake for 10 minutes. Prep the shrimp.
-
Take bacon out and let rest for 2 or 3 min- it’s a little hot to handle. Start with the tail of the shrimp and the end of the bacon and pinch together, hold. Then, stretch and wrap the bacon around the shrimp with your other hand until you’ve reached the other end and tuck seem end down onto the second baking sheet. Try and keep them from touching each other on the tray for even baking.
-
Place back in oven and cook until the bacon is a golden brown and the shrimp is opaque for another 10-15 minutes. Watch out if your over runs hot you don’t want to burn them!
-
Mix together the mayo, mustard and spices. Add a few good shakes of the tabasco, you decide how hot you want it. Finish with a little salt and pepper, thin with a teaspoon of water to just get a thin layer of dipping sauce.
Recipe Notes
- Unpeeled raw shrimp either fresh or frozen are less expensive. You do have to peel and devein, but you have time while par baking the bacon!
