  3. Place a slice of Chihuahua cheese on the back of each shrimp and wrap shrimp and cheese with 1 bacon strip, set on a baking sheet. Repeat for remaining shrimp.

  4. Broil on the middle rack in the preheated broiler until bacon cooks and cheese melts, about 5 minutes. Transfer cooked shrimp to a plate and drizzle with liqueur reduction.
