Chipotle Barbecue Shrimp Skewers with Blue Cheese Avocado Sauce

When it comes to creating recipes to enjoy while watching the football games I always focus on flavor. I love to wow my friend with spicy recipes and make gameday snacks really shine by adding a little kick! To create gameday recipes that are bursting with flavor I turn toTABASCO® Sauce. TABASCO® Sauce enhances the flavor of my recipes and adds a bold taste without being overpowering.

We always have people over to watch the games or we get together with friends at their house. One of my favorite game day recipes is firecracker shrimp but this time I decided to try something a little different. I made chipotle barbecue shrimp skewers and accompanied them with a deliciously fresh blue cheese and avocado dipping sauce. These spicy shrimp skewers where an instant hit. So much so that we’re planning to make them again next weekend!

Depending on how spicy you like your food you can add more or less TABASCO® Chipotle Pepper Sauce and you can also be served accompanied by the TABASCO® Chipotle Pepper Sauce bottle so people can add some more heat if they want to.
