6 Thin slices smoked bacon, Cut in half

Paprika or white pepper

12 Wooden toothpicks, unflavored and not colored

1 tsp. Lemon juice or crisp Dry wine

2 slices Low-moisture Mozzarella cheese

 

Combine first 7 ingredients. Marinate shrimp overnight in mixture. Remove shrimp from marinade. Immediately roll, un-drained, in bread crumbs. Place on combination broiling and serving platter. Dribble melted butter over shrimp. Add marinade to 1/8” in bottom of broiler pan. Broil slowly on low heat until done. Note: Use Tabasco sauce in place of pepper; it blends better with other ingredients. Use only white bread crumbs, brown crumbs or crusts will brown too fast during cooking. Alternative method of preparation: Sauté shrimp in combination of half butter and half cooking oil. When done, remove from skillet. Reduce marinade in skillet, pour over shrimp and serve.
