These skewers are a great way to get your kids to eat seafood. My kids love the bacon and the teriyaki sauce, and they don't even notice the seafood.

The teriyaki sauce is really what makes these skewers special. It's sweet and savory, and it pairs perfectly with the seafood and bacon.

I love that these skewers can be made with a variety of seafood. I've used shrimp, scallops, and salmon, but I think you could also use tilapia or cod.

I made these skewers for dinner last night and my family loved them! The bacon was crispy and the seafood was tender and flavorful. The teriyaki sauce was the perfect finishing touch.
