From Chile Pepper magazine. 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 |
Directions:
1. Preheat broiler.
2. 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.).
3. 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.
4. Wrap each pepper with 1 piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
5. Place on sheet pan.
6. Repeat with remaining jalapenos.
7. Broil peppers 5 1/2 from heat for 6 to 7 minutes on each side or until bacon is cooked and crisp.
8. Serve warm.
