Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with foil. Spray the foil with non-stick cooking spray for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, and freshly grated ginger to make a glaze. Set aside.
Take one half-slice of bacon and lay it flat. Place a shrimp and a slice of water chestnut at one end of the bacon. Roll it up snugly, then secure the roll with a toothpick.
Repeat the wrapping process for all the shrimp, bacon, and water chestnuts until you have 16 rumaki rolls.
Using a pastry brush or a spoon, coat the wrapped rumaki with the glaze, ensuring each piece is evenly covered.
Arrange the rumaki on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is golden and crispy. Rotate the rumaki halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
Remove the shrimp rumaki from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm, with additional glaze on the side if desired.
