Instructions
For the Dip:
Combine all ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Stir until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
For the Shrimp:
Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay bacon in a single layer. Sprinkle it with brown sugar and paprika. Bake for 10 minutes. When bacon is cool enough to handle, wrap shrimp with bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place back on the baking sheet. Repeat until no more shrimp remain. Bake for an additional 10 minutes, until shrimp is cooked throughout. Serve warm with prepared dip.
