• 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.
