BACON-WRAPPED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Position a rack 3 to 4 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler. Whisk the lemon juice, garlic, paprika, thyme, olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a shallow baking dish. Add the shrimp and toss to coat; marinate in the refrigerator, 20 minutes.
• Turn the shrimp in the marinade to coat well. One at a time, remove each shrimp and wrap with a piece of bacon; secure with a toothpick if desired. Place seam-side down on a baking sheet. Spoon any remaining marinade over the shrimp. Broil, turning the shrimp once, until the bacon is slightly crisp and the shrimp are cooked through, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Set the oven rack to the center position. Preheat to 400ºF (20ºC).
• Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, salt, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and chili powder in a medium-sized bowl.
• Add shrimp and stir to combine. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the bacon.
• Cut bacon strips in half, about 4 to 5 inches in length.
• Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Place the cut strips of bacon on the rack.
• Roast until the bacon just begins to shrink and turn slight red in color, about 8 minutes. The bacon should be flexible and not completely cooked or crispy.
• Allow the bacon to cool until it's easy to handle with fingertips, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Wrap each piece of shrimp with the par-cooked bacon strips, insert a toothpick to secure the wrap.
• Arrange the shrimp in a single layer on the same pan used to cook the bacon. Roast for 5 minutes.
• Remove the tray from the oven. Carefully flip the shrimp over and then brush each piece with half of the maple syrup. Roast the shrimp for 5 minutes.
• Remove the tray from the oven, flip one last time and brush the shrimp with the remaining maple syrup.
• Change the oven to the high broil setting. Broil until the bacon is deep red in color and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Carefully remove the toothpicks.
• Transfer bacon wrapped shrimp to a serving plate. Garnish with freshly cracked black pepper and parsley.

BACON WRAPPED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. In a bowl, stir together the chopped orange, chile, scallions, cilantro, olive oil, and salt and pepper.
• Wrap each shrimp in a section of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Put the shrimp on a baking sheet and broil, turning once, until the bacon is crisp and the shrimp is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes each side. To serve, lay a lettuce leaf on the cutting board. Remove the toothpick from 1 of the cooked shrimp and center the shrimp on the lettuce leaf. Spoon a little of the citrus sauce on top, wrap it all up in the lettuce like a burrito, and put it seam-side down on a plate. Keep going in the same way to wrap all of the shrimp. Serve hot.
