Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Shrimp
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp paprika
2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
2 lbs large shrimp, peeled, deveined, and rinsed
2 oz Monterey Jack cheese, cut into thin strips
3 jalapenos, cut into thin slices
1 lb bacon, halved
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 lime, quartered
In a small bowl mix together garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Place shrimp in a large bowl and season with 3/4 of the spice mixture, tossing to evenly coat. Working with one shrimp at a time, make a slit about 3/4 inch long at base of shrimp. Place one cheese slice and one jalapeno slice in the slit, then wrap shrimp with half a slice of bacon. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
Thread shrimp onto skewers and season lightly with remaining spice mixture. Brush lightly with melted butter.
Grill over high heat until bacon crisps and shrimp just cooks through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove to a platter and serve with lime wedges.
