directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Set a wire rack over a baking sheet.
Step 2
Melt the butter with the chili powder in a small pan, stirring to combine. Divide the chili butter between 2 separate bowls.
Step 3
Wrap each shrimp in a half piece of bacon and skewer with a small skewer or large toothpick. Arrange the shrimp on the wire rack and brush with half of the chili butter (1 of the bowls).
Step 4
Bake until the bacon is cooked, 5 to 10 minutes. With a clean brush, brush on more chili butter from the second bowl. Serve on a big platter and sprinkle with sliced green onions.
