Step 1
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the 1 lb shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the 2 diced tomatoes, 1 diced cucumber, and the cooked shrimp.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the 3 tbsp lime juice, 2 tbsp hot sauce, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
Step 4
Pour the dressing over the shrimp mixture and toss gently to coat. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 5
Chill the cocktail in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Step 6
Serve cold, topped with the 4 slices of crumbled bacon.
