Serves 2

Ingredients

6                raw whole jalapeno peppers

8 tsp         cream cheese

3 slices     uncooked bacon  (cut each slice of bacon in 1/2)

10 – 12       uncooked, Argentine shrimp (deveined) 

2  tbsp.      vegetable oil

  2.  Rinse jalapeno peppers, cut lengthwise slit along the pepper, remove seeds, set aside. 
  3.  Stuff the interior of the jalapeno with cream cheese.
  4.  Partially cook bacon, let it cool then wrap 1/2 slice around each jalapeno, set aside.
  5.  Heat oil in a cast iron or grill pan.  Saute' the poppers over medium heat for about 5 minutes turning the peppers a few times.  Poppers are done when the stuffed jalapeno has softened and the cream cheese is oozing.  Take the poppers off heat, place poppers a plate, set aside.
