Shell, devein and butterfly shrimp, leaving the tail segments intact. Cut bacon strips in 1-inch sections. Place one section on each shrimp; then re-close shrimp, pressing its edges to seal in bacon. Beat egg; then stir in salt and soy sauce. Holding each shrimp by the tail, dip first in egg mixture, then in cornstarch to dredge lightly. Transfer shrimp to a covered dish and refrigerate 30 minutes to 1 hour. Meanwhile heat oil. Then add shrimp, and deep-fry until golden. Drain on paper toweling and serve at once.

A Message from our Provider:
“Our hopelessness and our helplessness are no barrier to (God’s) work. Indeed our utter incapacity is often the prop He delights to use for His next act… We are facing one of the principles of Yahweh’s modus operandi. When His people are without strength, without resources, without hope, without human gimmicks – then He loves to stretch forth His hand from heaven. Once we see where God often begins we will understand how we may be encouraged. #Ralph Davis”
