Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 275°F (135°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, mix the hot Italian sausage meat.
Step 3
Take one shrimp at a time and carefully wrap it with a portion of the seasoned Italian sausage meat. Press the sausage meat firmly around the shrimp to make sure it sticks.
Step 4
Repeat the process with the rest of the shrimp and sausage meat until all the shrimp are wrapped.
Step 5
Place the wrapped shrimp on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
Step 6
Lightly brush the shrimp bombs with olive oil. This will help them brown nicely during cooking.
Step 7
Bake the shrimp bombs in the preheated oven for about 1 hour or until the sausage is cooked through and has developed a beautiful golden brown color.
Step 8
Once done, remove the shrimp bombs from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
