These Bacon Wrapped Shrimp Kabobs literally disappear within 5 minutes every time we make them. A few years ago, when I was visiting my sister Jenny, we decided to play with her recipe for the Chipotle Chicken Kabobs and adapt it for shrimp. The bacon was a spur of the moment addition and it was a great one. I only shared a few bites with my kids and they went nuts over this shrimp. Served with Avocado Cream Sauce, no one can resist this shrimp.

Next time, (and any other time!) I’m making this for a main dish, I’ll be doubling or tripling the recipe. We made a few of the shrimp kabobs without bacon and they were every bit as delicious as their bacon-wrapped version.

If you’re looking for more great shrimp recipes, check out my kids’ favorite Kielbasa and Shrimp Fried Rice, and our Spicy Orange Garlic Shrimp. This Chili Lime Shrimp with Cilantro Yogurt Sauce is on my list to try soon, along with this Sesame Shrimp with Asian Greens and these Shrimp Bacon Sliders. Considering how happy my kids get when shrimp is on the menu, I should probably add a few more to my list to try soon. {originally published 2/7/15 – recipe notes and photos updated 3/28/17}
