  Add the bacon to a parchment-lined baking sheet fitted with a wire rack and precook in the oven until the bacon has rendered its fat, but is still pliable, 7 – 9 minutes. Do not let it crisp.

  Some similar recipes call for using toothpicks to hold the bacon in place; however, I found by tucking the ends under the shrimp solves that natty little problem.

  Place into the oven and bake until the bacon crisps, about 12 – 14 minutes.
