Bacon Prawns With Cheese Dip Recipes

BACON PRAWNS WITH CHEESE DIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut each piece of bacon in half and put them on a baking sheet. Bake until just half cooked, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove and set aside until cool enough to handle.
• Hold 1 strip the roasted jalapeno in the belly of each prawn and wrap it with half a piece of bacon. Secure with a toothpick and season with pepper, to taste. Arrange the prawns on parchment lined baking sheet and bake until the prawns are just cooked, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile make the cheese sauce by adding the cheese and cream to a glass bowl. Put the bowl over a pot of simmering water, being sure that the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water. Slowly stir until the cheese is melted into the cream and is fully blended.
• Transfer the prawns to a serving platter and serve the cheese sauce alongside. Enjoy!

WARM AND CREAMY BACON DIP

Steps:

• Bring cream cheese to room temperature. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• In a bowl, combine all ingredients. Place in 1-quart baking dish. Cover. Heat 25-30 minutes or until hot.
• Serve with assorted fresh vegetables, crackers and/or chips. Makes 3 cups.
• *Serving option: Dip may also be placed in hollowed round sourdough loaf, wrapped in foil and heated in 400 degree oven for 30 minutes.

EASY BACON WRAPPED PRAWNS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Wrap a slice of bacon around each large prawn.
• Secure bacon by skewering each shrimp and bacon slice through with a toothpick.
• Place in baking dish or on baking tray.
• Add cayenne or horseradish (or both) to taste to the BBQ sauce (you can substitute Tabasco, if you like - the point is for the sauce to have a little kick), then brush each shrimp/bacon with BBQ sauce. (Or you can dip each one in the sauce before putting it on the tray.)
• Bake in oven for about 20-25 minutes or until bacon is thoroughly cooked through - if the bacon isn't crisping as much as you'd like, try broiling it for the last 5 minutes, being careful to check that the sauce isn't burning and so on.
