Steps:

Sauce: Combine first 11 ingredients and place in a heavy bottomed saucepan. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes; 40 minutes longer for more depth of flavor (can be made day before). Preheat broiler and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. In a large skillet over medium heat cook bacon until fat is translucent and bacon is still limp. Drain on paper towels and cut each strip in half crosswise. Wrap each shrimp with one piece of bacon. Secure bacon with a toothpick and place on a wire rack. Place the rack on the prepared tray and broil the shrimp until the bacon starts to crisp. Turn the shrimp over and broil the other side. Now set the oven temperature to 500 degrees F. baste both sides of the shrimp with BBQ sauce and place in the oven for 2 mintes. Turn the shrimp over and return to the oven for 3 to 6 minutes longer or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Serve over basmati rice spiked with grated lemon zest and parsley or cilantro.
