> This is a dim-sum-house modern classic, cheater's version:
> 
> 1 lb bacon, approximately 16 slices
> 1 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined, coarsely chopped
> 2 scallions, sliced
> 1/2 tsp finely  grated fresh ginger
> 1/2 cup water chestnuts, chopped
> 1 Tbs cilantro, chopped (optional)
> 1/4 tsp sugar (optional)
> 1 1/2 tsp light soy sauce
> 1/8 - 1/4 tsp white pepper, finely ground
> 1 tsp cornstarch
> 1 tsp peanut or neutral vegetable oil
> 
> Extra cornstarch for dusting
> Oil for deep frying
> 
> Mix ingredients, make balls of approximately one ounce, roll in bacon 
> (it's okay if you just roll cylinders with exposed ends). Dust with 
> cornstarch, deep-fry or pan-fry in 325-degree F oil for about eight 
> to ten minutes, or until brown and cooked through.

> Old-fashioned version:
> 
> 1/2 recipe above
> 1 lb large, raw shrimp, peeled to last tail shell joint, split 
> partially to devein and flatten [butterfly]
> 
> Place a tablespoon or so of the filling on each butterflied shrimp, 
> wrap bacon, starting from the wide, top end of the shrimp, to hold 
> the stuffing in. You may need to stick a toothpick in to hold the 
> bacon and the stuffing in place.
> 
> Dust and fry as above, for about eight minutes per inch of thickness.
> 
> Vinegary sauces are common for this dish (yes, the Chinese do 
> practice humoral medicine), like a plum or other sweet-and-sour 
> sauce. a mild chili sauce, or, for some oddly serendipitous reason, a 
> lemony mayonnaise.
