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.
