Ingredients

  • 8 raw jumbo shrimp (about 6 ounces), thawed, peeled and deveined
  • 1 teaspoon jerk seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 2 Jalapeno peppers
  • 4 lices thin cut bacon, each cut in half crosswise

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the shrimp into a resealable plastic bag. Add jerk seasoning and oil, then close the bag. Mix everything around by hand to coat the shrimp evenly with the marinade. Place in the fridge for 20 minutes.
  2. While the shrimp are marinating, set an empty cast iron pan onto the center rack in the oven. Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. with the pan in it.
  3. Slice the jalapeno peppers in half lengthwise, then cut off the stems. Remove some or all of the seeds and ribs (the white membrane), depending on how spicy you want the dish to be.*
  4. Cut each jalapeno half crosswise to make 8 chunks.
  5. Place each shrimp onto a piece of jalapeno, then set onto a halved slice of bacon. Wrap the bacon tightly around into a roll.
  6. Remove the pan from the oven and, using a spatula, set the rolls seam side down into the hot pan. Bake for 7 minutes, then, using kitchen tongs, turn over and bake until the bacon is crispy (about another 7 minutes).

Notes

  • *The less ribs and seeds you remove, the spicier the rolls will be.
