I decided to have some fun with the "stuffed pepper" concept during our recent Cinco de Mayo party. Typically I will use a mix of cheeses and bacon for the stuffing, but for this I decided to go a different way and use whole shrimp!
I found some nice long & wide jalapeños and bought some medium shrimp and pepper jack cheese to go with them. First I cut the top off of each pepper and then I seeded and de-veined them. I grated some of the cheese and pushed it to the base of each pepper.
I then peeled each shrimp, leaving the tails on, and wrapped them with thin slices of the cheese before stuffing them into the peppers. I used a bit more of the cheese between the shrimp at the top of the pepper and then cooked them in a standing rack in a 400F oven.
I served the peppers sliced in half and with a batch of "taco shop" guac in the middle of the plate. Dip in and enjoy!
