yields six servings
10 bacon slices
2 pounds peeled, deveined tail-on jumbo shrimp (called U-15 in chef-speak)
1/2 cup Louisiana hot sauce (not Tabasco)
3/4 cup blue cheese dressing
4 ribs celery, cut into sticks
1 lemon, cut into 6 wedges
Equipment: 30 wooden toothpicks
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Arrange the bacon on baking sheet and bake until half-cooked, about 6 minutes. Let cool and cut each slice into thirds. Reserve the baking sheet—don’t drain the fat. Stretch 1/3 of a bacon slice tightly around the center of each shrimp, and secure with a toothpick. Arrange the shrimp on the reserved baking sheet and bake until just cooked through and the bacon is crispy, about 6 minutes more. Immediately transfer the shrimp to a bowl and gently toss with the hot sauce.
To serve, pour the blue cheese dressing in a bowl and place in the center of a serving platter, surrounded by the shrimp, celery sticks, and lemon wedges.

Where did you get the Louisiana hot sauce? The only place in Christchurch that stocked it was demolished last year.
