Prepare skewers by soaking them in water for 30 minutes if using wooden skewers.

Wrap each shrimp with a piece of bacon, securing it with a skewer or toothpick.

Mix brown sugar, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper in a bowl.

Sprinkle the mixture over the bacon-wrapped shrimp evenly.

Place the shrimp on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Drizzle olive oil over the shrimp for added flavor.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until bacon is crispy and shrimp are cooked through.

Alternatively, grill the skewers over medium heat for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally.

Remove from the oven or grill and let cool slightly before serving.

Serve warm as an appetizer.
