Afterburners (Jalapeno Shrimp Poppers) - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
12 large jalapenos
12 medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 cup cream cheese
6 slices mozzarella cheese, thin slices, halved
1 green onion, chopped
6 slices bacon, halved lengthwise
Preparation
-
Preheat broiler.
Cut a lengthwise slit in each jalapeno and remove the seeds and membranes, leaving each pepper intact. (If you have sensitive skin like I do, wear latex gloves or these really will be afterburners.).
Into the cavity of each pepper, carefully place a shrimp, about a teaspoon of cream cheese , half a slice of mozzarella and a pinch of green onion.
Wrap each pepper with 1 piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
Place on sheet pan.
Repeat with remaining jalapenos.
Broil peppers 5 1/2\" from heat for 6 to 7 minutes on each side or until bacon is cooked and crisp.
Serve warm.
