Line a baking sheet with foil and set a cooling rack on top. Lay bacon strips on the cooling rack. Bake on a middle rack in the oven for 15 minutes to partially cook the bacon. Blot bacon with paper towels to remove most of the drippings.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the butter, brown sugar, salt, and chipotle chili powder. Remove 1 tablespoon of the butter and set aside. Add shrimp to the bowl and stir to coat.
Line another baking sheet with foil. Lay down a strip of bacon, then place a buttered shrimp on top. Wrap the bacon around the shrimp, then secure with a toothpick. Repeat with remaining bacon and shrimp.
Broil shrimp on HIGH for 2 minutes. Remove from the oven and baste with the remaining butter. Broil again for 1-2 minutes, until shrimp is pink, and bacon is crisp but not burned.
