- 12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined with tails still on

Directions
- Before starting, place 12 toothpicks in water. Let sit until ready to use.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, honey, ginger, garlic powder and red pepper flakes.
- Add shrimp and toss until well coated. Let sit for 30 minutes.
- Place a rack roughly 4 inches from the broiler. Turn on the broiler to heat and assemble the skewers. Thread one piece of pineapple onto each toothpick.
- Cut the bacon in half. Take one shrimp and wrap in a piece of bacon. Thread shrimp onto the skewer, making sure end of bacon is secured by toothpick. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
- Arrange shrimp in a roasting pan and drizzle extra marinade over skewers. Place under broil and cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until bacon is crisp.
- Remove, flip and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes. Keep a careful eye on the bacon as every broiler is different.
