📝 Preparation Steps
1
To prepare the shrimp, remove about three-fourths of the shell and leaving the last shell section and tail intact. Using a small, sharp paring knife, cut along the underside of each shrimp to expose the vein. Do not cut all the way through the shrimp. Remove the veins. Rinse the shrimp again; drain. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
2
In a small bowl, combine the black pepper, cayenne pepper, and paprika. Mix well and set aside.

In another bowl, whip the softened butter with the granulated garlic and white wine. Set aside for basting.

4
Cut each slice of bacon in half and wrap a half-slice around the body of each shrimp, leaving the tail exposed.

5
Assemble 6 skewers by threading the ingredients in this order: green bell pepper, beef strip, red onion wedge, chicken strip, red bell pepper, bacon-wrapped shrimp, pineapple cube, bacon-wrapped shrimp, red bell pepper, chicken strip, red onion wedge, beef strip, and green bell pepper. Do not pack the meat, vegetables, shrimp, or pineapple too tightly on the skewers. Leave a little space between each piece for even cooking. Refrigerate the skewers while you prepare the grill.

6
Prepare a medium fire for a charcoal grill or set a gas grill to low heat with the lid open. Avoid using a high flame, because the bacon grease can cause flare-ups and may burn wooden skewers. If using wooden skewers, keep a small cup of water nearby to sprinkle over the fire if flare-ups occur.

Just before grilling, soak the prepared skewers in the Italian dressing or marinade for 2 to ⏱️ 3 minutes.
8
Place the skewers on the grill and sprinkle with a bit of the spice mixture. Baste with about 1/2 cup of the prepared garlic wine butter while grilling. Grill, turning as needed, until the chicken is fully cooked, the beef is cooked to your preference, the shrimp are opaque, and the bacon is cooked through.

Lightly melt the remaining garlic wine butter and serve it on the side with the mixed grill fajitas.
10
For additional fajita vegetables, heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over low heat. Add the onions and bell peppers and sauté until the onions are translucent but not browned. Add the sausage, if using, and cook until heated through. Season the vegetables with the spice mixture as you cook. Serve alongside the mixed grill fajitas.
