Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 12 shrimp,jumbo (preferably Louisiana)
  • Cheddar cheese (12 cubed pieces, see instructions for size)
  • 12 jalepenos, slices (from a jar)
  • 6 bacon slices (cut in half)
  • Worcestershire sauce
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Soak enough toothpicks in water for all of the shrimp. Butterfly the shrimp by slicing down along the center back with a sharp paring knife. Remove vein.

  • Step 2: Cut cheese into small blocks about 2 1/2 inches in length. Place cheese in the open butterfly area of the shrimp along with a jalapeno on top. Wrap 1/2 slice of bacon around the shrimp, holding everything in place. Put toothpick through to hold together and place them in a shallow dish or bowl.

  • Step 3: When finished, pour Worcestershire sauce all over shrimp and let them marinate in the fridge for as long as you wish.

  • Step 4: Grill shrimp over white hot coals or on a preheated gas grill, but beware of flareups. Propane will usually flare more than a charcoal grill, but you want bacon to be fully cooked and crispy (the shrimp will cook quickly, so as soon as the bacon is to your liking, they're done)

  • Step 5: Best eaten right off the grill.
