Stuffed Shrimp Enbrochette

Serves 4

Ingredients:
20 jumbo raw shrimp - peeled, de-veined
1/2 cup seafood stuffing like joe’s crab shack (see previous recipe)
10 jalapeno slices - halved
2 slices Monterey jack cheese - cut into 20 equal-size pieces
1 pound raw thin sliced bacon

Directions:
1. Slice shrimp down the middle of the opposite side you de-veined.
2. Lay shrimp cut side up and press 1 teaspoon prepared stuffing into each shrimp cut.
3. Place a piece of cheese over the stuffing on each shrimp.
4. Wrap each stuffed shrimp in a strip of bacon.
5. Thread 5 shrimp on a bamboo skewer; repeat with remaining shrimp.
6. Deep fry shrimp in 400°F oil until bacon is browned or grill shrimp over a high flame, turning once, until bacon is browned or broil shrimp, turning once, until bacon is browned.

Tip:
If you like scallops, you can substitute the shrimp with scallops minus the seafood stuffing. The bacon gives this recipe such a wonderful flavor.
