INSTRUCTIONS

Shell, devein and butterfly shrimp, leaving the tail segments intact.
Cut bacon strips in 1/2-inch sections. Slice onion thin. Crush  garlic.
Beat eggs. Then add flour and beat with a wire whisk until  batter
thickens. (It should not be runny: if it is, add more flour.)  Dip
bacon in batter, 1 section at a time, and place on the flattened
surface of each shrimp. In one cup, combine catsup, Worcestershire
Sauce, sugar, pepper and water. In another cup, blend cornstarch and
remaining cold water to a paste. Heat oil. Add shrimp, bacon-side
down, and pan-fry 2 minutes over medium heat. Cover and cook another
1/2 minute. Turn shrimp over and pan-fry 2 minutes more. Remove and
drain shrimp on paper toweling. Add onion slices and stir-fry until
softened and translucent; then drain. Arrange on a serving dish with
shrimp on top. Keep warm. Heat remaining oil. Add salt and crushed
garlic; stir-fry to brown lightly. Add catsup mixture and bring to a
boil, stirring. Then stir in cornstarch paste to thicken. Spoon sauce
over shrimp and serve at once. VARIATIONS: In step 2, substitute for
the batter, a mixture of 2 egg whites, 4 tablespoons flour and 1/2
teaspoon salt. In step 2, top each shrimp with a strip of smoked ham.
(Slice ham thin, cut in 1x2-inch strips, and dip in batter to make it
adhere.) Then top with a bacon section as above. In step 4, for the
catsup mixture, substitute 1/2 cup catsup and 1 cup stock. In step 4,
add to the cornstarch paste 1 teaspoon soy sauce and a dash of pepper.
