    Ingredients

    • 12 green jalapenos cut each jalapeno lengthwise
    • 8 oz cream cheese softened
    • 2 scallions green onion (chopped)
    • 12 thin sliced bacon slice each slice into 2 inch pieces
    • 6-8 cooked shrimp completely optional: chopped
    • 24 toothpicks pre-soaked for 25 minutes so they will not char in oven

    Instructions

    • Pre-soak toothpicks in warm water for about 15 minutes so they will not char in oven.
    • Preheat oven to 375 degrees (190 degree Celsius).
    • Slice each jalapeno in half lengthwise and scoop seeds and white membrane out  with a spoon. 
      (Doing so will make peppers a whole lot less hotter)
    • In a bowl, mix the cream cheese and chopped scallions (and chopped cooked shrimps if you decide to use them).   
    • Stuff each jalapeno.
      A little goes a long way. Do not over stuff, cream cheese will overflow.
    • Wrap bacon over and around each pepper and secure bacon with a toothpick through pepper.
    • Place a sheet of parchment paper (baking paper) on tray and place jalapenos on tray upright.
    •  Cook for about 20-25 minutes until peppers are soft and the bacon is crispy.
    • Plate these babies up. Giving 4 to 6 pieces to each person depending on how many you are serving.
