Shrimp Stuffed Jalapenos

Ingredients

  • 1 pound of jalapeños
  • 4-6 ounces of cream cheese
  • 1-2 pounds of shrimp
  • 1 pound of bacon
  • Seasoning (Old Bay Blackened Seasoning recommended)

Instructions

Method: Indirect cooking

Equipment: Baking dish, strainer

  1. Set the EGG for indirect cooking at 400°F/204°C.
  2. Cut the stems off the jalapeños and slice them in half lengthwise.
  3. Use a knife to remove the vein and seeds from the inside of each jalapeño. This reduces the heat level. If you prefer them spicier, leave some seeds.
  4. Place the hollowed-out jalapeños in a strainer and rinse them thoroughly.
  5. Fill each jalapeño half with cream cheese.
  6. Remove the tails from the shrimp and place one piece on top of each stuffed jalapeño.
  7. Wrap each jalapeño with half a slice of bacon and place it into a baking dish.
  8. Repeat the process for all jalapeños.
  9. Sprinkle the wrapped jalapeños with seasoning.
  10. Place the baking dish on the EGG and cook for around 15 minutes, turning halfway through.
  11. Remove from the EGG and let cool for 4-5 minutes before serving.
