Gift Wrapped Shrimp Bites

Roll each shrimp into a round shape, with tail on the outside. Skewer each rolled shrimp with a toothpick through the diameter, so that the shrimp hold their round shape.

Heat a saute pan to medium high heat. Add oil. Coat shrimp with spices, salt and pepper and then saute just until opaque, about 1 to 2 minutes per side.

Remove from pan and let cool to warm. Cut off 12 strips of the green portion of the green onions, keeping the green portion intact and as long of length as possible. Heat green onion strips in the pan until just softened and bendable, about 1 minute, turning frequently. Remove from pan and let cool to warm.

Cut the roasted bell pepper strips into long thin strips and wrap strips around shrimp. Wrap green onion strips around shrimp and tie in a bow or in a knot.

Serve warm.

(NOTE: For an even easier version, omit the bell pepper strips and just tie the cooked spiced shrimp with the softened green onion strips.)
