Step 1
Preheat oven broiler.
Step 2
Wash the shrimp and pat them dry. Butterfly shrimp by cutting lengthwise along the back—don't cut all the way through, leaving the tail section intact.
Step 3
Grate the cheese and mix with jalapeño pepper.
Step 4
Cut each piece of bacon in half.
Step 5
Fill the open section of each shrimp with about 1 teaspoon cheese mix. Wrap each shrimp with a piece of bacon, and secure with a wooden pick.
Step 6
Place shrimp on a broiler pan and broil until bacon is crisp. Turn the shrimp and broil until bacon is done. About 10 minutes or less, total.
Step 7
Serve hot.
