Shrimp Wrapped In Bacon


Ingredients:
  • 12 slices bacon
  • 1 package (12 oz.) frozen cooked, shelled and deveined shrimp, thawed
  • Toothpicks
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Directions:

Cut each slice of bacon in half lengthwise, then cut each half slice into thirds.  Wrap pieces of bacon around shrimp and secure with a toothpick.  Place 1/2 cup of butter in a 1-cup glass measuring cup, microwavable.  Microwave for 1 minute.  Check.  Finished when butter is melted.  Stir in the 1/4 cup of Worcestershire sauce; 2 teaspoons of chili powder and 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder.  Dip shrimp wrapped in bacon into the premixed sauce.  Now arrange 18 shrimp wrapped in bacon on a china plate and cover with a paper towel.  I use 2 layers.  Microwave 3 minutes 30 seconds to 4 minutes 30 seconds, depending on your microwave, or until bacon is fully cooked.  Halfway through cooking turn the shrimp wrapped in bacon a 1/2 turn.  For crispier bacon add to a 375 preheated oven for 3-5 minutes.  Repeat with remaining shrimp.
