Bacon Rolled Shrimp - Gandara Cooks!

I got this idea from Ochikeron and the recipe is so nice and easy. Though I made slight adjustments to the recipe and I want it to match to our Filipino taste and also substitute some ingredients that can be easily access by an average Filipino. This is one is a little bit sweet.

Ingredients:
6pcs shrimps - Ideally, "Sugpo" (black tiger shrimps) are preferred. But you can use a little bigger "Suahe".
3 bacon strips
salt and ground black pepper
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp sprite or 7-up soda
calamansi

6 toothpick sticks



Procedure:
1. Remove shells and clean the shrimp by taking off black veins.
2. In a bowl, season the shrimps with soda, salt and pepper.
3. Cut the bacon strips in half lengthwise so you should have 6 long strips.
4. Curl the shrimp and wrap the bacon on the side like shown on the picture.
5. Secure the roll with a toothpick.
6. Heat your pan and melt the butter under low heat. 
7. Fry on each side until you achieve the color like shown in the picture.
8. Squeeze on some calamansi juice if you want it to be a little tangy. Totally optional, i didn't do it. 

Mine's a little toasted because I like it that way. You can lessen the cooktime if you want your shrimps a little more springy when u bit on it. To each his own :3
