Add the ice and the shrimp, and let sit for 30 minutes (no longer). Remove the shrimp from the brine. PREPARE GRILL OR HEAT OVEN: Prepare grill on high, direct heat (if grilling) or set the oven @ 400+|F/205+|C. If grilling and using thin bamboo or wood skewers, soak them in water first for 30 minutes. SEASON THE SHRIMP: Mix together in a small bowl the lime zest, lime juice, olive oil, and chipotle powder. Stir the shrimp into the lime chipotle mixture; make sure each piece is well coated. PARTIALLY COOK THE BACON: Spread the bacon pieces out over several layers of paper towels on a microwave-safe plate. Cover with another layer of paper towel. Microwave on high until the bacon fat begins to melt but the bacon is still somewhat pliable, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. WRAP THE SHRIMP WITH BACON: Working one at a time, wrap a half piece of partially cooked bacon around each piece of shrimp. PREP THE SHRIMP FOR COOKING: If you are grilling, thread the shrimp onto skewers. If you are using the oven, secure each the bacon onto the shrimp with toothpicks. Place the bacon-wrapped shrimp on a foil-lined baking pan. Brush remaining lime chipotle mixture on the outside of the bacon-wrapped shrimp. GRILL OR BAKE THE SHRIMP: Grill uncovered for 3 minutes on each side (less or more time depending on the heat of your grill), or bake in the oven for 8 to 11 minutes, or until the bacon is lightly browned and the shrimp is cooked through.
