These pineapple bacon shrimp bites are a delightful fusion of flavors, pairing the sweetness of pineapple with savory shrimp and crispy bacon. By nesting a chunk of pineapple in the curve of a jumbo shrimp, then wrapping it in bacon, it creates a bite-sized treat secured with a wooden toothpick—perfect for a cocktail party or backyard barbecue. These bites are then pan-seared to perfection, ensuring a crisp bacon exterior and succulent shrimp within.
