BBQ bacon wrapped shrimp kabob with apricot pineapple glaze

I made these for dinner, and I should have taken a picture. They were delicious. Thanks to hubby for helping!

Ingredients:
1 lb jumbo or large shrimp, peeled, deveined
1 lb bacon
3/4 c. apricot / pineapple preserves or jam
1 can pineapple chunks in juice
1/3 c juice from can of pineapple
2 tbsp soy sauce
veggies for kabob... onions, multi colored peppers
bamboo skewers

Soak bamboo skewers in water for 1 hr. This will keep wood from catching on fire. Lay bacon in pan, partially fry it. Light brown, but not cooked through all the way, it will finish cooking on the grill. Wrap shrimp with bacon. Easiest way is to wrap a piece of bacon around shrimp till ends of bacon overwrap,  then cut bacon. Pierce shrimp with skewer, skewer will hold bacon on the shrimp. Alternate shrimp, onion, pineapple, pepper, repeat. You will probably be able to get several of each on one skewer. I did make some for hubby with no veggies or pineapple, just the shrimp.
Glaze: mix jam with pineapple juice and soy sauce.
I let my kabobs marinate in the glaze while I lit the grill, and let the charcoals burn. So, about 1/2 an hour. Grill about 5 mins each side or until shrimp are pink.
