Smokey and Spicy Bacon Wrapped Shrimp

Everybody likes bacon wrapped anything and shrimp
is a classic bacon wrapped appitizer.
I put a smokey slant by using smoked paprika.
The spicey part comes from wasabi powder.
These are good and pack as much of a spicey
kick as you want to by using more or less wasabi.
I like to serve them along with a dipping sauce.

Ingredients
12 - slices bacon
24 - jumbo shrimp, (about 3 pounds), peeled, deveined
1 - Tablespoon butter
2 - cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon sweet smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon wasabi powder,creamed
1/2 - cup Tomato Sauce
1/3 - cup steak sauce
1/4 - teaspoon hot pepper sauce

Directions:
Preheat large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add 4 bacon slices and cook 3 minutes,
or just until partially cooked.
Drain. Repeat with remaining bacon.
Cut each bacon slice in half.
Wrap 1 bacon piece around each shrimp;
secure with wooden pick. Return to same skillet.
Cook 8 minutes, or until shrimp turn pink
and bacon is crisp, turning after 4 minutes.
Place butter,paprika,wasabi and garlic in small saucepan.
Cook over medium heat 15 seconds, stirring constantly.
Add tomato sauce, steak sauce and hot pepper sauce. Mix well.
Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Serve warm with the shrimp.
