Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 F.
  2. With a sharp knife, slice the bacon lengthwise & place the half strips on a baking sheet to precook them in the oven. This should only take about 5 minutes as you want to slightly render the bacon but not cook it to a point where it isn’t still pliable.
  3. Take most of the shell off of the shrimp, leaving the tails on & devein them. With a sharp knife, butterfly-cut the shrimp in half, being careful to split them but not cut right through.
  4. Lay the butterflied shrimp on a work surface. Cut Gorgonzola cheese into sticks & place one inside each shrimp. Wrap the shrimp/gorgonzola in a bacon strip. I should mention, there is no simple way to do this. It just takes a bit of time & patience but they are worth it.
  5. Place the bacon wrapped shrimp on a piece of foil paper & place on a baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for about 10 minutes. If you wish, you can finish them under the broiler if you want crispier bacon.
  6. Remove from the oven. On a serving platter, slide stuffed shrimp & any cheese & shrimp broth over a bed of Jasmine rice. Nice to serve with steamed broccoli.
