How to Make Bacon Wrapped Shrimp With Chunky Tomatillo Salsa And Tomato Vina

  1. **Tomatillo Salsa:**
  2. Combine 2 pounds tomatillos (husked and rinsed), 2 ripe avocados (diced), 1 jalapeño (seeded and minced), 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, and 1/4 cup chopped red onion in a large bowl.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons lime juice and 1 tablespoon canola oil; gently toss to coat.
  4. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Gently mash avocados slightly for a creamy texture.
  5. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  6. **Tomato Vinaigrette:**
  7. Blend 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce (finely chopped), 2 cloves garlic, 1 tablespoon lime zest, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until completely smooth.
  8. With the blender running, slowly drizzle in 1/4 cup olive oil until emulsified and slightly thickened.
  9. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  10. **Shrimp:**
  11. Wrap each large shrimp (about 1 pound) in a half-slice of bacon, overlapping ends to secure.
  12. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking.
  13. Add bacon-wrapped shrimp to the skillet and cook, turning occasionally, until bacon is crispy and shrimp is pink and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes).
  14. **To Serve:**
  15. Spoon a generous portion of tomatillo salsa onto each plate.
  16. Drizzle with tomato vinaigrette.
  17. Arrange 5-6 bacon-wrapped shrimp on top.
