How to Make

In a small bowl, whisk together the butter, bourbon, brown sugar, paprika, onion powder, and black pepper. I’ve provided a full list of the ingredients and detailed recipe instructions in a printable recipe card below.
Wrap each shrimp with a piece of bacon. Dip into the butter mixture, then place them seam side down onto the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat with remaining shrimp and bacon. Brush any extra glaze over the top of the shrimp.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the bacon is cooked and golden.
Arrange the cooked shrimp on a serving platter and sprinkle with chopped chives to garnish.
