Clean and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails on.

Pre-cook the bacon until it's partially cooked but still pliable.

In a bowl, combine melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, cumin, cayenne pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder; stir to mix well.

Place the shrimp in the marinade and let it marinate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight in the refrigerator.

Wrap each shrimp with a piece of pre-cooked bacon and secure it with a toothpick.

Optionally, add a basil leaf while wrapping the shrimp with bacon.

Preheat the grill to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Place the bacon-wrapped shrimp on the grill and cook for 2 minutes on one side.

After 2 minutes, rotate the shrimp to ensure even cooking.

Cook for another 2 minutes on the other side until the shrimp and bacon are fully cooked and crispy.

Remove the shrimp from the grill and place them on a plate.
