How To Make Shrimp Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Peppers

Ingredients

  • 8 jumbo jalapeno peppers, cut in half seeds and membranes removed
  • 6 oz softened cream cheese
  • 1 ½ cups finely shredded Colby Jack cheese, divided
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon finely minced green onion
  • 16 large cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 8 slices of bacon, cut in half

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 f. degrees.
  2. Rinse under cold water and pat dry the jalapeno peppers. Cut the jalapeno peppers in half lengthwise. Scoop the seeds and membrane from each half of the jalapeno peppers. Place the prepared jalapeno peppers on a cookie sheet that has been lined with foil or parchment paper.
  3. In a small bowl mix the softened cream cheese, ½ cup of the shredded cheese, Old Bay Seasoning, garlic powder and minced green onions till combined well.
  4. Fill each half of jalapeno pepper with the cream cheese mixture. (see helpful tips)
  5. Place one shrimp on top of the cream cheese filling in each of the jalapeno pepper halves.
  6. Top each shrimp with a large pinch of the remaining shredded cheese.
  7. Carefully pick up one jalapeno pepper half and wrap ½ a piece of bacon around it trapping the mound of shredded cheese on top of the shrimp. Use a toothpick to secure the bacon to the pepper. Repeat with remaining stuffed peppers.
  8. Bake in preheated oven for 22 to 25 minutes or until cheese is melted and the bacon has browned. May broil under a 450-degree broiler for 2 to 3 minutes to brown the bacon a bit more. Do not overcook trying to make the bacon crispy or the shrimp will become tough.

Helpful Tips for making Shrimp Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Peppers

  • Wear (affiliate links) plastic disposable gloves whenever working with hot peppers.
  • Use a sharp paring knife to easily remove the membrane from the inside of each half of jalapeno pepper.
  • Use a plastic bag or a cake decorating bag to pipe the cream cheese filling evenly into the jalapeno pepper halves. This makes it very easy to make sure you have enough filling to fill all 16 jalapeno pepper halves.
  • Do not overcook to try to get the bacon extra crispy. This will cause the shrimp to overcook and become unappetizing and tough.

    Oh, My!! Sweet! Salty! Creamy! Spicy! All the flavors I love. Those cute appetizers wouldn't last very long around our family. We love our appetizers, especially if they are spicy. We'll be having a gathering soon and these poppers will be the stars.
