I like to cook, so should you.
Today i am giving you a fun and tasty treat for are Bacon lovers out there. It bacon shrimp stuffed with cheese. So so tasty your going to actually reply to my post saying you liked it. Well your probably not going to reply, but your going to like them if you like bacon, shrimp and cheese.
Ingredients
20 large shrimp, peeled and the bigger the better on this one.(leaving the tail on)
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
4 ounces cream cheese, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt, because salt is good and good for you! Don't argue with me its good!
2 ounces shredded cheese like Jack, mild cheddar.
10 slices of bacon, cut in half
4 to 5 garlic cloves
Salsa- okay go back a post or two from me and i gave you a great one to make. Or a jar one is okay also.
1- Butterfly and stuff the shrimp. Cut a 1/2-inch deep incision down the inside of each of the peeled shrimp. Don't cut through the shrimp!! Scrape out the vein , you know the intestinal tract.
Roast the garlic in a dry pan. flipping them until there soft and black in spots. Cool and peel off the skin. In a medium bowl, mash the garlic with a fork until it is nearly smooth, then add the cilantro, black pepper and 2 cheeses. Mashing everything together, until thoroughly mixed and well gross looking. Taste and add in the salt. If you think its not necessary. Your wrong and put it in!
Scoop some of the filling and press it evenly into the cut part of a shrimp. You know where you just cut out that gross black vane looking thing. Now we get to the bacon. Wrap the shrimp in a piece of tasty tasty bacon. Repeat this until all the shrimp are stuffed and wrapped in Mmmm, Bacony goodness.
2- Cooking. Heat a heavy skillet or flat pan over medium-high. When the pan is completely hot, then and only then, lay the shrimp in the pan. Cook until crisp, about 1 minute, then turn each piece only a quarter of a turn cook another minute. Continue doing this until all 4 sides are browned and cooked completely. The bacon needs to be crisp and the shrimp are perfect when only a hint of the pink remains deep in them. Overcooked shrimp are rubbery and nasty, so don't over cook. In case you did not understand me there. It will taste like shit if you overcook the shrimp! Don't over cook the shrimp!
Put your shrimp on a plate, get the salsa you made from the other recipe i gave you. Or your not as good jar stuff, that's okay i understand. Put that in a boll and enjoy.
