Bacon?  Shrimp?  Cheese?  Jalapeno Poppers?  The answers is DUH! YES PLEASE.  At your next BBQ serve these can’t miss appetizers and sit back and enjoy the accolades.

Serves 12

Ingredients:

• 6 Jalapenos (Halved with seeded and membrane removed)
• 12 Shrimp (small to medium deveined and peeled )
• Cream Cheese ( I used Garlic and Chive)
• Shredded Sharp Cheddar
• 6 strips of thick cut bacon (cut in half)
• Your favorite BBQ spice rub
•  Toothpicks
• OPTIONAL- Your favorite BBQ sauce

Directions:

·         Fill your Jalapeno Canoes with the cream cheese mixture.

·         Sprinkle your favorite bbq spice rub onto the cream cheese(sticks to the cream cheese very well)

·         Next add the shredded sharp cheddar on top the seasoned cream cheese

·         Top with 2 shrimps

·         Wrap your half strip a bacon around the jalapeno and secure with toothpick

Cooking:

Add to the grill on indirect heat, the poppers will be done when the bacon is cooked through and crispy. 

I cooked mine for 45 min on a 250 degree BBQ. 

OPTIONAL:  5 minutes before removing from heat lightly brush BBQ sauce to poppers for an added component.
