BACON-WRAPPED SHRIMP WITH CHUNKY TOMATILLO SALSA AND TOMATO VINA

Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp With Chunky Tomatillo Salsa and Tomato Vina image

Here is a Southwestern inspired dish from Tyler Florence. Bacon-wrapped shrimp is a delicious combination as it is, but pairing it with the salsa and vinaigrette puts this recipe over-the-top! This shrimp recipe also works well on the grill. Serving it with margaritas and/or beer wouldn't be a bad idea! Note: You can make the salsa and vinaigrette ahead of time and keep refrigerated. You could also prep the shrimp and wrap with bacon ahead of time. That way, it will be a breeze when it comes time for dinner.

Place a large skillet over medium heat, drizzle with a 1/2 count of oil and heat just to the smoking point.
Lay the shrimp in the pan (do this in batches if the pan is crowded) and saute until the bacon is crisp, tossing so the shrimp cook evenly.

Drizzle a pool of the tomato vinaigrette on another area of the plate and top with 5 shrimp (per plate).
