1 pound (16 to 20) very large shrimp
Boiling salted water
About ½ pound thinly sliced bacon
1 clove garlic, minced or mashed
½ cup tomato-based chili sauce
Starting several hours before you plan to serve these, cook the shrimp in the boiling salted water until they turn pink, about 3 minutes. Drain and cool enough to shell and devein them. Also broil the bacon slices on one side only (they should not be crisp); drain bacon, then cut each slice in half crosswise. Blend the garlic with the chili sauce. Dip each shrimp into the sauce t coat all over, wrap in a half-slice of bacon, and secure with a toothpick. When all are prepared, cover and refrigerate until you are ready to broil and serve them.
Arrange the appetizers on a rack in a broiler pan and broil until they are heated through the bacon is crisp, turning to brown and crisp both sides. Serve hot. Make 16 to 20 appetizers.
