Shrimp Wrapped in Bacon with Chili Butter Sauce


This is a knock off of Pioneer Woman's Scallop Wrapped Bacon with Chili Butter Sauce.

You will need:
1 package precooked medium shrimp (jumbo would work amazingly well too)
1 package bacon (DON'T get the thick cut bacon, it will only make your life hard)
toothpicks

For the Sauce:
2 Tbsp butter
1 tsp chili powder
dash of cayenne pepper

First thaw your shrimp in a bowl of warm water for a minute or so. Cut bacon in half, and then cut that in half again (I used about half of the bacon in the package). You should have little strips of bacon about 3 inches long. Wrap those suckers around the shrimp and secure each piece with a toothpick. Place each shrimp onto a baking dish (with sides, because it will get greasy) and stick it under the broiler for 5 minutes. Turn each piece of shrimp, drain the grease, and stick back under the broiler for an additional 5 minutes. While the bacon is cooking you can make the sauce. Take butter and place in a microwave safe bowl, heat for about 20 seconds in microwave, or until melted. Toss in chili powder, and a few dashes of cayenne pepper for a little extra "sumthin' sumthin' ". When the bacon is done, place onto a plate, and drizzle yummy butter over top.

Now that's amazing.
