Ingredients
- 16 large jalapenos
- 16 medium shrimp peeled and deveined
- 8 slices bacon cut in half
- 16 medium length skewers
- Ranch dressing
Instructions
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.
- Using a paring knife, slice the tops off of the jalapenos. Cut a slit down the side of each jalapeno and carefully remove the ribs and seeds. (Tip: Have a bowl of water handy. Dunking the jalapenos in water helps get the last few seeds out. If desired, soaking the peppers in water for about 30 minutes, too--it helps reduce the the heat a bit.)
- Preheat grill to medium-low heat (~350°F)
- Stuff each jalapeno with one shrimp. Wrap jalapeno with half slice of bacon and then secure bacon with a skewer through the center.
- Place jalapenos on grill and cook for 8-10 min, or until bottom portion of bacon is cooked but not burnt. Flip jalapenos and grill for 8-10 more minutes, or until bacon is crispy and shrimp is fully cooked.
- Serve hot with a side of ranch dressing.
