Introduction

A VERY EASY-TO-MAKE YET IMPRESSIVE HEALTHY APPETIZER THAT IS SOOO YUMMY... IT IS BEST FRESH OFF THE BACKYARD GRILL, BUT I HAVE ALSO MADE A DELICIOUS VERSION ON MY GEORGE FOREMAN GRILL!

Ingredients

    JUMBO SHRIMP ALREADY COOKED
    REDUCED FAT CREAM CHEESE
    JALEPENOS, SPLIT IN HALF (RINSE OUT SEEDS TO MAKE LESS SPICY HOT)
    PACK OF BACON (UNCOOKED)--- TURKEY BACON MAKES FOR HEALTHIER TREAT, BUT MMM HOW PORK BACON REALLY BRINGS OUT THE FLAVOR.
    TOOTHPICKS

Tips

ENJOY!


Directions

--FILL EACH JALEPENO HALF WITH CREAM CHEESE, I LIKE TO FILL JUST TO THE TOP, IF YOU OVER FILL THE CREAM CHEESE MAY MELT AND BE MESSY.
--ADD A JUMBO SHRIMP(I PREFER WITH TAIL FOR BETTER FLAVOR) TO EACH HALF
--CUT SLICES OF BACON IN HALF AND WRAP AROUND THE JALEPENO AND SHRIMP, STICK A TOOTH PIC THROUGH THE CENTER TO HOLD IT ALL TOGETHER.
--PLACE ON GRILL UNTIL THE BACON IS NICE AND CRISPY, CURLED AND BROWN. USUALLY TAKES ABOUT 6 MINS ON EACH SIDE FOR ME. DO NOT OVERCOOK AS THE JALEPENO SHOULD STILL HAVE A CRUNCH.


Serving Size: MAKE AS MANY AS YOU LIKE BASED ON ONE JUMBO SHRIMP FOR EACH JALEPENO HALF

Number of Servings: 1
