Ingredients
- 1 orange, sectioned, seeded (if there are any) and chopped
- 1 hot red chile, stemmed and chopped
- 2 scallions, white and green parts, chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 8 large shrimp, shelled and deveined
- 3 to 4 slices bacon, cut into 2 to 3-inch sections
- 8 leaves bibb or Boston lettuce
Directions
Preheat the broiler. In a bowl, stir together the chopped orange, chile, scallions, cilantro, olive oil, and salt and pepper.
Wrap each shrimp in a section of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Put the shrimp on a baking sheet and broil, turning once, until the bacon is crisp and the shrimp is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes each side. To serve, lay a lettuce leaf on the cutting board. Remove the toothpick from 1 of the cooked shrimp and center the shrimp on the lettuce leaf. Spoon a little of the citrus sauce on top, wrap it all up in the lettuce like a burrito, and put it seam-side down on a plate. Keep going in the same way to wrap all of the shrimp. Serve hot.

Fantastic APPETIZER - common sense by the amount made! Want this is an entree, then make more!
Flavor blend is fantastic, love the variation of colors and the texture. Will definitely make again and again.
