Barbecue Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp Bundles

1/3 cup canned tomato sauce
3 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon brown sugar (not packed)
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Nonstick spray
8 slices extra-lean turkey bacon, halved crosswise
16 large (not jumbo) raw shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails removed

Heat the oven to 425 degrees F.

In a small bowl, combine the tomato sauce, ketchup, sugar, vinegar and garlic powder until mixed well. Set aside.

Lightly spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray. Take one-half slice bacon and coat it in the sauce. Wrap the sauce-covered bacon around a shrimp and place it, seam side down, on the baking sheet. Repeat with the rest of the bacon and shrimp. Give them a quick mist with nonstick spray.

Bake until the shrimp are cooked through and the bacon is crispy, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool slightly before serving.

Makes 4 servings.
