Jalapenos are stuffed with shrimp then wrapped in bacon and broiled until cooked. Hot and delicious! Jalapenos come in all shapes and sizes and even have different skin thicknesses. If you have some that are hard to work with try soaking them in hot water for 10 minutes to soften them. They'll be easier to open up to get the seeds out.

ingredients

12 jalapeno peppers
12 medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
6 slices bacon, halved lengthwise

directions

Preheat oven broiler.

Cut a slit lengthwise in each jalapeno but do not cut all the way through (you are making a pocket). Carefully remove the seeds and membranes using a small knife.

Press one shrimp into each pepper pocket (some of the shrimp will stick out). Wrap each stuffed jalapeno with one slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick.

Place the stuffed jalapenos on a baking sheet and broil 5-6 inches from the heat for 6-7 minutes per side or until the bacon is cooked.

Serve hot.

  1. leftyg REVIEW:

    They were a little hot, but I blame myself for not getting all the seeds out. The bacon wouldn't stay on, so I just sliced them all up and ate them as a "salad." Spicy, but not too spicy, deliciousness!

  2. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    I picked 2.5"-3" peppers.Cut the schrimp in to thirds used shreded mild cheese to stuff.Used full length bacon wraped from point to stem stuck a wooden toothpic in to hold the bacon. AWSOME Wrap the bacon so it overlaps itself

  3. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    I read elsewhere to remember that the jalapenos with white lines on the outside are the hottest. I put some mozzarella cheese inside too and that helped moderate the heat. When I put the bacon on I went lengthwise, not like a belt, and I stuck the toothpick out like it was a stem of the pepper, making it easier to turn the peppers over when broiling.

  4. lorre REVIEW:

    The first one I ate was good. the second was so hot. guess the peppers can be diffrent. I couldn;t get the bacon to stay on, not very nice bacon. broke up too much. Next time I will try to cut the shrimp up, mix it with the bacon and stuff the peppers that way. I guess I just can't take very hot stuff. I think they would be real good for real hot food lovers.
