Notes
The cook time will vary depending on the size of your shrimp. If you are using shrimp that are a bit smaller, check after 6 minutes of cooking.
The amount of glaze in this recipe is just enough to add a hint of flavor. If you prefer extra saucy shrimp, double the sauce mixture.
Pre cooking the bacon is a must. If it isn't pre-cooked the shrimp will get overcooked or you'll end up with floppy limp bacon.
