I worked at a Mexican restaurant years ago that had the best grilled shrimp stuffed with jalapeno, cheese, and wrapped in bacon. One of my buddies I worked with came to visit recently and we decided it was necessary to try and recreate these amaing bites of goodness. Normally you would cook this on the grill, but it was unusually windy this particular day so we ended up broiling them instead.
Bacon Wrapped Shrimp Brochette
8 jumbo Shrimp, peeled and deveined
8 slices Bacon
2 Jalapenos, seeded and cut into thick slices
2 oz Monterey Jack Cheese, cut into thick slices
4 bambo skewers, soaked in water
Stuff shrimp with a slice of jalapeno and cheese. Wrap with bacon and skewer to keep in place. Place on grill for approx 5 mins until shrimp is cooked and bacon is crispy brown.
We served our shrimp with a side of sauteed squash and onions, and asparagus cooked with bacon (of course).
Enjoy!
