Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails on for presentation.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, black pepper, and lemon zest to create a marinade.
Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat them evenly. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes.
Cut each slice of low-sodium bacon in half crosswise. Wrap each shrimp with a half-slice of bacon and secure with a soaked wooden skewer.
Place the bacon-wrapped shrimp on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking, until the bacon is crisp and the shrimp are cooked through.
Once cooked, remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley.
Serve immediately as a delicious and savory appetizer.
