Grilled Shrimp and Bacon Skewers with Pickled Onion and Avocado Salad

Grilled shrimp is a Mexican standard on both coasts. Here we put the tasty little crustaceans on a skewer with slab bacon that has been blanched first to precook it so you don’t have to worry that it won’t cook all the way through on the grill. You have to watch these skewers once they get on the grill, though, because the fat from the bacon can easily ignite. If that happens, shift them quickly to a cooler part of the grill until the fire has died down, then move them back over the fire.

Yield: Serves 2 as Entrée;  4 as Appetizer
