Tasty Tuesday - Chipotle Lime Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp

I found this recipe on Simply Recipes and it's quickly become a favorite. I bet it's something that Thorne would enjoy making for Rosie!

Ingredients (serves two)

• 24 large raw, peeled and deveined shrimp
• 4 Tablespoons olive oil
• zest from two limes
• juice from two limes (about 4 tablespoons)
• 1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder
• 8 strips thing bacon, cut in thirds to make 24 pieces
• toothpicks

Directions

• In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, and chipotle powder, mix. 
• Put the shrimp in the lime chipotle mixture, make sure each piece is well-coated.
• Spread bacon pieces out over paper towel on a microwave safe plate and microwave on high until the bacon fat begins to render, but the bacon is still pliable, about 1 1/2 minutes
• Preheat oven to 450F
• Wrap a piece of bacon around each shrimp, use the toothpick to secure the bacon on the shrimp
• Place bacon-wrapped shrimp on a slotted baking pan lined with foil inside for easy cleaning
• Brush remaining lime chipotle mixture on the bacon-wrapped shrimp
• Bake for 10-14 minutes until bacon is crisp and shrimp is pink

It tastes great accompanied by Jasmine or Basmati rice.
