Grilled BBQ Shrimp Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers

Just in time for Sunday's big game, the fine folks at SeaPak Shrimp and Seafood Company are putting a new twist on traditional jalapeno poppers with their recipe for barbecue shrimp stuffed, bacon wrapped jalapenos. 

BBQ SHRIMP STUFFED JALAPEÑO POPPERS

Ingredients

1 12 oz package SeaPak® Shrimp Scampi, frozen

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

6 extra-large jalapeño peppers

6 slices of thinly sliced bacon

Instructions

Prepare shrimp according to package directions and allow to cool for 5 minutes.

When scampi is cooled, stir in cheese and set aside.

Heat an outdoor grill to medium high heat.

Cut a sliver off the side of each jalapeño.

Clean out the seeds and membranes using a paring knife or small spoon.

Stuff the jalapeños with the shrimp and cheese mixture.

Wrap the stuffed jalapeños with bacon and place on a hot grill  for 12 to 18 minutes (or until the bacon has cooked through), turning occasionally.

Serve immediately.

Note: Watch for fire flare ups as the fat begins to render off the bacon.
