When I was in college, I worked at Pappasito's as a waitress. I LOVED their brochette shrimp and I asked the cook for the recipe. He didn't give me the exact measurements, but he did give me the list of ingredients. I went home and played around with the quantities of the ingredeints and came up with what I think is very close to the real thing! Ingredients:
12 large shrimp |
6 slices bacon, cut in half |
1 fresh jalapeno |
1 slice monterey jack cheese, thick |
1 tablespoon paprika |
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper |
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
1/2 cup butter |
1/4 cup white wine |
wooden skewer, soaked in water |
Directions:
1. Clean and devein shrimp, leaving the last section and tails intact.
2. With a paring knife, carefully slice each shrimp from tail to tip.
3. Wash and seed jalapeno, and cut into a pieces about 1/2-inch X 1/2-inch squares.
4. Cut slice of cheese into 12 small pieces.
5. Stuff one small piece of cheese and one small piece of jalapeno into each shrimp.
6. Wrap a half slice of bacon around each shrimp.
7. Place shrimp on a wet skewer.
8. Repeat this process until all shrimp have been placed on skewers.
9. Place in refrigerator for a few minutes while you prepare the rest of the recipe.
10. Mix the paparika, cayenne pepper and black pepper together.
11. In a small skillet, heat butter and white wine until butter is completely melted.
12. Prepare grill.
13. ~note~I use my indoor grill, but these can be made on an outdoor grill too, but I would use a low flame!
14. Remove shrimp from fridge and brush completely with melted butter.
15. Sprinkle with seasonings.
16. Grill on each side until shrimp are done.
