Pica Pica

Shrimp, pineapple and onion with a chipotle lime sauce.  This is my version of my favorite dish at the local Mexican restaurant.

18 large uncooked deveined shrimp
1 C pineapple chunks
1 medium Vidalia or other sweet onion, cut in large chunks
6 slices bacon, cut in thirds
Cilantro







Precook bacon slices in microwave for about a minute until soft.  Wrap each shrimp in one slice of bacon.  Place bacon-wrapped shrimp, pineapple chunks and onion chunks on skewers.  Grill shrimp skewers for 30 seconds on each side.  Slather chipotle lime sauce (see below) on each side and grill until shrimp and bacon are cooked.  Sprinkle with cilantro, if desired.


Chipotle Lime Sauce
1 C BBQ sauce
1/4 C honey
1/4 C lime juice (about 1 1/2 limes)
1/4 C canola oil
2 t Dijon mustard
Red chile flakes
Chile powder
Cayenne pepper
4 chipotles in adobo

Puree all the ingredients in food processor.  Simmer in a medium saucepan for about 20 minutes over medium heat.
