Bacon Wrapped Swai Recipes

BACON WRAPPED SWAI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400.
• Liberally grease a baking sheet or line with foil.
• I lined mine with foil and it didn't stick to the foil at all.
• Lightly sprinkle the fillets with the Italian seasoning.
• Lay out 3-4 strips of uncooked bacon depending on how long your fillets are.
• Lay a fillet on top of the bacon.
• Wrap the bacon around the fillet so that there are few gaps between the slices.
• I overlapped some of my slices-it was fine.
• Repeat the process for the other fillet.
• Bake at 400 for 30 minuets.
• After the 30 minutes are up, broil on High for 1-3 minutes to crisp up the bacon.
• Watch it carefully so the bacon doesn't burn.

BACON-WRAPPED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Position a rack 3 to 4 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler. Whisk the lemon juice, garlic, paprika, thyme, olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a shallow baking dish. Add the shrimp and toss to coat; marinate in the refrigerator, 20 minutes.
• Turn the shrimp in the marinade to coat well. One at a time, remove each shrimp and wrap with a piece of bacon; secure with a toothpick if desired. Place seam-side down on a baking sheet. Spoon any remaining marinade over the shrimp. Broil, turning the shrimp once, until the bacon is slightly crisp and the shrimp are cooked through, about 5 minutes.

BACON WRAPPED SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Wrap each slice of sausage with a piece of bacon and arrange in the prepared baking dish; sprinkle with brown sugar.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bacon is crispy and sugar is caramelized, about 1 hour.

BACON-WRAPPED SAUSAGES

Steps:

• Cut the bacon strips in half length-wise (just leave in the package and cut with a knife). Cut the sausage into pieces that are about the same width of the bacon strips. Just toss the ends of the sausages.
• Wrap the 1/2-strips of bacon around the sausages and hold it in place with a toothpick. Place on top of a cookie sheet. Now I like to do these two ways: for a spicy kick shake a few pepper flakes on top of each sausage or for more of a sweeter flavor try a small sliver of candied ginger.
• Top each sausage with a loose 1/2 - 3/4 tsp scoop of brown sugar. The brown sugar will be used to gauge when the sausages are done. When it melts down and turns into a little volcano of brown sugar they are READY!
• If your grill is already full then put these in your oven at 300°F for approximately 45-60 minutes. Its nearly impossible to overcook these, but you do want to keep some of the molten brown sugar on top for flavor. So don't forget to give your guests this treat.

BACON-WRAPPED SWEET POTATO BITES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, mix butter and seasonings. Add sweet potatoes and toss to coat., Wrap 1 piece bacon around each sweet potato cube; secure with a toothpick. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Place on a parchment-lined 15x10x1-in. baking pan., Bake until bacon is crisp and sweet potato is tender, 40-45 minutes. Serve with maple syrup.

BACON WRAPPED SMOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Refrigerate 2/3 of the bacon until needed. It is easier to wrap the wieners with cold bacon. Wrap each cocktail wiener with a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place on a large baking sheet. Sprinkle brown sugar generously over all.
• Bake for 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until the sugar is bubbly. To serve, place the wieners in a slow cooker and keep on the low setting.
