Abstract: In the present paper we extend the "torus gauge fixing approach" by Blau and Thompson (Nucl. Phys. B408(1):345--390, 1993) for Chern-Simons models with base manifolds M of the form M= Sigma x S^1 in a suitable way. We arrive at a heuristic path integral formula for the Wilson loop observables associated to general links in M. We then show that the right-hand side of this formula can be evaluated explicitly in a non-perturbative way and that this evaluation naturally leads to the face models in terms of which Turaev's shadow invariant is defined.
