Bacon Wrapped Shrimp Skewers with Chipotle Sauce
Appetizers
Ingredients
- 8 ounces bacon
- 20 shrimp (21/25 count), shelled, deveined
- 1/4 cup Fustini's Chipotle olive oil
- 3 tablespoons chipotle pepper in adobo
- 3 tablespoons Fustini's Sicilian Lemon balsamic
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes
- ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 5-8 bamboo skewers, soaked in water
Directions
Par-cook the bacon until it is partially cooked but still pliable. Cut strips in half and let cool on a paper towel. Wrap the bacon around the shrimp, and skewer with bamboo through the point where the bacon ends meet (to keep from unraveling). Skewer 3 to 5 shrimp per bamboo.
Combine the BBQ sauce, oil, chipotle, balsamic, mustard, chili flakes, black pepper and cayenne in a blender and puree. Separate the sauce in half, one for basting and one for dipping.
- Cook the bacon-wrapped shrimp on a grill over medium heat. When the shrimp begin to turn pink, begin basting with the chipotle sauce. Serve with the remaining sauce on the side for dipping.
