Hi Donna - This recipe is a variation on traditional Angels on Horseback. We have corrected the recipe to include the instructions for the bacon. Thank you for calling this issue to our attention. -Editors of RecipeLion

Angels on horseback is traditionally BACON WRAPPED OYSTERS- I can see a substitution of shrimp for the oysters but where is the bacon.

The cooking instructions are a bit vague...how low is low and how many minutes until done??? I really want to try these, but shrimp are too expensive, here, to experiment.
