I saw a similar recipe on a television show but it did not include the syrup.

• Prep Time: 20 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Directions:

1. Cut each shrimp down the back and remove vein.
2. Butterfly each shrimp and pound lightly with mallot.
3. Put about 1/2-1 teaspoon of herbed goat cheese inside shrimp.
4. Carefully wrap each shrimp with bacon, starting with tail end and secure with one or two toothpicks.
5. Do this to all shrimp until finished.
6. In large pan or skillet add 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil and heat.

I made these for an Oscar party and they were awesome!!! Very labor intensive though.
