Food and Recipes Recipes Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp Skewers with Chipotle Comeback Sauce 5.0 (1) 1 Review Whether you are hosting a cocktail party, a gameday event or you need some party appetizers to keep your guests satisfied before the holiday meal, these bacon-wrapped shrimp skewers are sure to please everyone. You can prepare the skewers and the sauce a day ahead, so all you have to do before your party is fire up the grill. Use regular cut bacon for these skewers; thick-cut bacon is great in BLT's, but if you use it here, the shrimp will get overcooked before the bacon is done. Save the recipe for the chipotle comeback sauce - you will want to use it on salads, sandwiches, and as a dip for fried chicken strips or chips. Welcome your guests with a big-batch party punch, such as Whiskey-Apple Cider Punch or Thanksgiving Rum Punch, and give them plenty to munch on while you put the finishing touches on the meal. These bacon-wrapped shrimp skewers can easily be turned into po' boys for a delicious lunch or quick supper - simply slide the shrimp off the skewers into a hoagie, top with lettuce, and add the comeback sauce.
