Q: I'd like the recipe for the horseradish-stuffed, bacon-wrapped shrimp appetizer from Front Page News on Crescent Avenue in Midtown.
-- Calvin Green, Atlanta

A: Thibodeaux Shrimp is one of Front Page News' most popular appetizers. Black tiger shrimp are stuffed with horseradish, wrapped in bacon and served with a tangy mustard barbecue sauce for a Cajun kick. The bacon is cooked at the same time as the shrimp. If you need to crisp it up, quickly place the pan under the broiler for a few seconds after cooking. This is a perfect holiday appetizer.

Hands on time: 20 minutes  Total time: 50 minutes  Serves: 8

Ingredients:

    1/4 cup water
    1/4 cup granulated sugar
    3/4 cup yellow mustard
    2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
    1 cup light corn syrup
    2 teaspoons garlic powder
    2 teaspoons onion powder
    1 teaspoon turmeric
    1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    1 tablespoon cornstarch
    16 large shrimp (16-20 per pound), peeled down to first segment, deveined and cut halfway through
    1/4 cup prepared horseradish
    8 bacon slices, cut in half
    1 teaspoon chopped green onion, garnish (optional)
    1 teaspoon chopped Italian parsley, garnish (optional)

Instructions:

In a saucepan, combine water, sugar, mustard, apple cider vinegar, corn syrup, garlic powder, onion powder, turmeric and cayenne pepper. Simmer, stirring frequently, for 30 minutes. Dissolve cornstarch in 1 tablespoon water and add to mixture, stirring well to combine.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Fill shrimp with horseradish, wrap a half slice of bacon around the shrimp to hold the filling and secure with a toothpick. Bake 25 minutes.
Pour sauce on a plate. Place shrimp around the sauce and garnish with green onions and chopped parsley.
