Ingredients

• 16 pieces Large shrimp (peeled and deveined, tail on)
• 4 ounces Monterey Jack cheese (cut into small batons)
• 2 pieces Fresh jalapeños (seeded and sliced into thin strips)
• 16 slices Thin-cut bacon strips
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 teaspoons Fresh garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 pieces Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the shrimp. Make a small slit along the back of each shrimp to create a pocket for the stuffing.

Step 2

Cut the Monterey Jack cheese into small baton shapes (about 1.5 inches long). Cut the jalapeños into thin strips, ensuring they fit within the shrimp pocket.

Step 3

Stuff each shrimp with a piece of cheese and a strip of jalapeño. Close the shrimp gently around the stuffing.

Step 4

Wrap each stuffed shrimp with a strip of bacon, ensuring the ends overlap slightly to secure the filling. Repeat with all the shrimp.

Step 5

Skewer two shrimp onto each wooden skewer, careful to pierce through the bacon to help hold it in place.

Step 6

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and let it cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 7

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the shrimp with the butter marinade generously on all sides.

Step 8

Grill the shrimp for about 3-4 minutes per side, basting with additional marinade as needed, until the bacon is crisp and the shrimp are opaque and cooked through.

Step 9

Remove the shrimp from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.

Step 10

Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for extra zest. Enjoy your Pappasito's-style brochette shrimp!
