5. Season the shrimp with the spices.
6. To wrap 24 pieces of shrimp (typical for one pound of large 20-24 count shrimp): cut each bacon slice into thirds. To wrap more or less shrimp, cut your bacon smaller or larger, respectively.
7. Wrap each shrimp with a cut piece of bacon, and secure with the skewer; keep the bacon in place around the shrimp by using the skewer.
8. Skewer equal amounts of wrapped shrimp onto each skewer.
9. Line a baking sheet with foil, and lay the skewers on top.
10. Bake for 15 minutes.
