Easy, low carb alternative to jalapeno poppers--and every bit as good. Don't be afraid to try these--taking the membranes and the seeds out of the jalapenos takes away most of the heat.

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 fresh jalapeno peppers
1/2 cup cooked shrimp, finely chopped
1 tablespoon bacon bits
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2-1 teaspoon garlic powder
red pepper flakes, to taste

Steps:

  • Slice the stem of each jalapeno, being careful not to cut into the cavity of the pepper.
  • Cut jalapenos in half, lengthwise and remove seeds and membranes. Microwave jalapenos at 80% power for 4-7 minutes, or until they are slightly soft.
  • Mix remaining ingredients and spoon into jalapeno halves.
  • Broil for 5 minutes, or until cheese mixture is lightly browned.
  • Serve warm.
