SHRIMP STUFFED JALAPENOS

Steps:

• 1. Cut the stems off the jalapenos and remove as much of the seeds and veins as you wish. The more removed, the less heat you will get.
• 2. Mix together all other ingredients, minus the bacon, until smooth. Add as much of the spices as you wish. We like it spicy.
• 3. Stuff each jalapeno with the shrimp mixture. Wrap each jalapeno with a slice of bacon. We don't have a "holder" to keep them upright so we lay them on the grill grate. We cooked ours on our Traeger grill for just over an hour at 250*.
• 4. Side note: We used one shrimp per pepper. Another way to make this is to half the peppers and stuff each half and wrap it with half a piece of bacon for each. Temp and time would be about the same. Just watch for the bacon to be brown and crispy.
