FAQs about The Quick and Easy to make 3-Ingredients Shrimp Bites

Do I need to cook the bacon before wrapping the shrimp?
No, you don’t need to pre-cook the bacon. It will cook perfectly while wrapped in puff pastry during baking. If you prefer extra-crispy bacon, you can give it a quick pre-cook for a few minutes before wrapping.

Can I use frozen shrimp for this recipe?
Absolutely. Just make sure the shrimp are fully thawed, peeled, and deveined before wrapping. Pat them dry with a paper towel so the puff pastry stays crispy.
