Stuffed and Wrapped Shrimp Bobbers

Stuffed Jalapenos and Grilled Shrimp make great appetizers. Join the two together in a Bacon blanket, and you'll have an appetizer that will be the focal point of your next dinner. Serve them on a bed of Rice Pilaf and turn them into a meal instead.

Ingredients:

• 1 lbs. of thick sliced Cracked Pepper Bacon
• 20 medium/large fresh Shrimp
• 10 large fresh Jalapenos
• 8 oz. Philadelphia Cream Cheese
• Wooden Tooth Picks

Preparation:

Peel, de-vein, and butterfly the shrimp.
Slice the jalapenos in half, length wise and de-seed.
Fill the Jalapeno halves with cream cheese and lay a shrimp on top of the cream cheese.
Wrap the bobber with a slice of the bacon and pin with a wooden tooth pick.

Bake the Bobbers at 350° on a foil lined pan with a lip until the bacon is done. You can grill them on the pit or pop them in a broiler as well.
