GRILLED SHRIMP & PEPPERS 
jumbo shrimp (preferably Louisiana)
block of Cheddar cheese
jar of sliced jalepenos
bacon (cut in half)
toothpicks
Worcestershire sauce

Soak enough toothpicks in water for all of the shrimp (1 each). Butterfly the shrimp by slicing down along the center back with a sharp paring knife. Remove vein.

Cut cheese into small blocks 2 1/2 inches long. Place cheese in the open butterfly area of the shrimp along with a jalapeno on top. Wrap a slice of bacon around the shrimp, holding everything in place. Put toothpick through to hold together and place them in a shallow dish or bowl.

When finished, pour Worcestershire sauce all over shrimp and let them marinate for as long as you wish. Grill shrimp over white hot coals or on a preheated gas grill, but beware of flareups. Propane will usually flare more than a charcoal grill, but you want bacon to be fully cooked and crispy.

The shrimp will cook quickly, so as soon as the bacon is to your liking, they're done.

My friends beg me to make these every time we have a party. Prepping takes the most time.

Best eaten right off the grill. Enjoy!

This recipe was awesome. We did ours in the broiler and found that it worked better than the grill. Shrimp and bacon cooked to perfection. If you do this method, make sure you put the them on a tray to allow the grease go flow under the shrimp. We didn't, but they were still awesome. That is just what I will do next time to keep the bottom part of the bacon crispy.
