List of Ingredients
� 10 bacon slices
� 2 pounds peeled, deveined tail-on jumbo shrimp
� � cup Louisiana hot sauce (not Tabasco)
� � cup blue cheese dressing
� 4 ribs celery, cut into sticks
� 1 lemon, cut into 6 wedges
� 30 wooden toothpicks
Recipe
Preheat the oven to 400�F.
Arrange the bacon on baking sheet and bake until half-cooked, about 6 minutes. Let cool and cut each slice into thirds. Reserve the baking sheet - don't drain the fat. Stretch one-third of a bacon slice tightly around center of each shrimp, and secure with a toothpick.
Arrange the shrimp on the reserved baking sheet and bake until just cooked through and the bacon is crispy, about 6 minutes. Immediately transfer the shrimp to a bowl and gently toss with the hot sauce.
To serve, pour the blue cheese dressing in a bowl and place in the center of a serving platter, surrounded by the shrimp, celery sticks, and lemon wedges.
Makes 6 servings.
