Tips and Tricks for Making This Recipe

- Choose "large" shrimp, or ones that include 21-25 per pound. If you use smaller or bigger, the shrimp and bacon may not be done at similar times, causing one to become overcooked. If you use larger shrimp, you may be able to use a whole slice of bacon instead of a half, but the cooking time will be longer.

- Use only thin-sliced bacon.

- There's no need for toothpicks if you air fry them with the bacon seam down.

- We like to leave the tail on the shrimp so that we have something to hold while dipping it into the honey mustard sauce, but feel free to remove the tail first if serving these with a fork.

- If you're making an extra large batch of these, you can bake them in the oven. Preheat the oven to 400˚F, line and baking sheet with foil, and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the bacon is crispy.
