In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat add the butter, olive oil, garlic, lime juice, lime zest, salt, and pepper. Cook until butter is melted and mixture is at a low simmer.
3.
Preheat the oven broiler to 400 degrees F. Line a baking tray with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Remove shrimp from the refrigerator. Wrap each shrimp with one of the half slices of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place in a single layer on the baking sheet and broil for 5-10 minutes or until the shrimp are cooked. In the last 2 minutes of cooking, pour 4 tablespoons of the melted butter mixture over the shrimp and place back in the oven to broil.
