• With rubber gloves, remove seeds from pepper and cut into 12 slivers.
• Make a shallow cut into the underside of each shrimp and insert a piece of pepper.
• Wrap each shrimp with a bacon strip.
• Thread 3 bacon/shrimp bundles onto each skewer, leaving a small space between bundles; baste with barbecue sauce.
• Grill uncovered over medium coals for 4 to 5 minutes.
• Turn, baste, and grill an additional 4 to 5 minutes or until bacon is crisp and shrimp has turned pink.
