10-12 bacon slices
1/2 cup brandy or yellow rum

Peel, devein, and wash the shrimp. Arrange on a paper towel to dry. You can leave the tail on if you’d like.
2

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Don’t forget the bacon will add even more flavor to the dish.
3

Slice the strips of bacon in half, wrap a strip around each shrimp, and keep the bacon in place with a toothpick.

Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and cook the shrimp for approximately 2 minutes on each side. Heat the brandy in another container. Remove the frying pan from the heat, add the brandy, and very carefully, set the liquor on fire. Let evaporate.
5

Serve with pasta or a side salad, and enjoy.
