Preheat oven to 375°. To butterfly shrimp, make a deep slit along the back of each, but not all the way through. Rinse shrimp; pat dry. Place one basil leaf inside slit in each shrimp. Wrap each shrimp in a slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick (flavorless).
In a medium stockpot or saucepan, heat oil over high heat to 350°; when hot, carefully add shrimp a few at a time. Deep-fry 2–3 minutes, until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, remove shrimp from oil and place on a tray lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
In a skillet, combine barbecue sauce, horseradish, and pepper sauce. Add precooked shrimp to sauce and heat in oven 5 minutes, basting shrimp often, until shrimp is heated through. Serve on a platter garnished with lemon wedges and extra basil leaves.
