Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

Phenomenal recipe!! Just a couple of notes: using medium shrimp you'll only need half a slice of bacon per shrimp. However, I actually would have liked larger shrimp I think. The smaller shrimp tended to fall out of the tortillas while eating. I wasn't able to grill so I broiled the shrimp as mentioned in the directions. I didn't skewer the vegetables but instead sauteed them in a little of the leftover bacon grease and then added some of the barbecue sauce to them while they simmered. Delicious!
