Remember that one time I wrote about my trip to New Orleans and then did a copycat recipe for this Bacon Wrapped Shrimp dish I had while there. So yeah, that was the first time I had shrimp wrapped in bacon. With those two ingredients you can’t go wrong.
Last month, the staff went out to eat at Saltgrass for a little celebratory lunch and the Shrimp and Chicken Enbrochette caught my eye. Hello, shrimp, chicken, bacon, and BBQ sauce. It’s like the trifecta of goodness slathered in sauce.
So, of course I had to make it as an appetizer to watch my team play on Sunday. That’s one of my favorite parts of football season – the food! Rather than cooking this up on the grill or stovetop grill, I cooked these in the oven and went with the frozen variety of sweet potato fries instead of onion strings. Served with the Pioneer Woman’s Fry Sauce and you have a winning dish.
