This shrimp is a treat. I first had this at a restaurant down in Mexico. The taste always stayed in the back of my mind. Someone else had also eaten this dish at Pappadeaux's and I promised to help find the recipe. I found something similar, but couldn't quite get the sauce right. I must have been thinking about it pretty hard, because I had a dream about how to come up with the sauce. It was a simple solution too! Maybe I should have named this "Shrimp with Dream Sauce."

Steps:
- Shrimp Marinade and Grilling: In a glass bowl, stir together Tequila, lime juice, garlic and pepper.
- Marinate shrimp for 30 minutes, stirring once or twice.
- Over marinating will result in a very strong flavor!
- Remove shrimp from marinade, and wrap shrimp in bacon pieces.
- Thread shrimp on skewers and lightly sprinkle with seasoning salt.
- Grill shrimp over medium hot charcoal fire, basting with Adobo BBQ sauce.
- Turn shrimp every 2 minutes and continue to baste.
- The shrimp should cook for about 10 minutes.
- Bacon will be cooked, but not crisped.
- Serve immediately and drizzle with additional sauce.
- BBQ Adobo Sauce: Add dried chilies (except chipotle pepper) to 1 1/2 cups of boiling water.
- Let sit for 15 minutes.
- Remove chilies and reserve 1/2 cup of chile water.
- Add chile, reserved water, onion, garlic, oregano, cinnamon, and cumin to a blender and puree.
- Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan.
- Sautee puree in pan and add vinegar and sugar, bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer until thick.
- This should yield 2 cups of Adobo sauce.
- I freeze the extra sauce.
- Mix 1/2 cup of Adobo sauce with 1/2 cup of prepared BBQ sauce.
- Differing the proportions of the mixture will give you varying degrees of spice.
- Use this mixture to baste shrimp and drizzle remaining on shrimp.
