3. Stretch one third of a bacon slice tightly around the center of each shrimp, and secure with a toothpick.
4. Arrange the shrimp on the reserved baking sheet and bake until just cooked through and the bacon is crispy, about 6 minutes more.
5. Immediately transfer the shrimp to a bowl and gently toss with the hot sauce. To serve, pour the blue cheese dressing in a small serving bowl and place in the center of a serving platter, surrounded by the shrimp, celery sticks, and lemon wedges.
