Bacon Wrapped Shrimp Skewers with Chipotle Sauce

Directions

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.
