I like Bacon wrapped around seasoned mushrooms, skewered and put on the grill!
DE-LIC-OUS.
For true atomic flavor you can use habaneros.....also very tasty, but MUCH more heat
I agree. It's my understanding that gulf shirimp are born wrapped in a slice of bacon, therefore cooking them in it is mandatory.
I'll bet it's hard to keep 'em lit, though.....

One time, about 2 years ago, he came up to me and pulled a piece of bacon out of his diaper and offered it to me. I smiled at him, and said "No thanks, you enjoy it". In retrospect, it wouldn't have been that bad if we had been having bacon that day.
I prefer to use pretty large jalapenos, as it really works best with nice Colossals for the shrimp, but it can work with any size. just when you get really small you have a hard time getting any cheese in there with the shrimp.
I do these on the grill. I was dubious the first time I tried it, as I thought the cream cheese would melt out and be useless, but it really doesn't. I do let everything set up for a few hours in the fridge before i grill them.
Be careful though, if you are making a bunch for a big party and please wear gloves. I did a huge batch fora party and and forewent the gloves. After I spent a couple hours making the batch, my fingers started to burn and burn they did for a couple days. The second day wasn't really that bad, just knew it was there, but the first day it was ungodly.
Sometime I want to try these but replace the shrimp with squid, which I think would be most excellent.
Try taking a package of softened cream cheese and mixing in a dry package of hidden valley ranch dressing mix, Pipe it(i put it in a baggie and snip of a corner) into jalapenos with the white center removed, wrap in bacon, secure with toothpick and grill. I use a rack designed for rilling poppers but you can also get creative with foil to prop em up a bit so the cream cheese doesnt drain out, which even layin on their side isnt too much of a problem. Taste is outta this world and it soooo easy!
