Ingredients

  • 1 quart vegetable oil for frying
  • 32 peeled and deveined medium shrimp, tail-on
  • 1 (4 ounce) can pickled jalapeno peppers, cut into slivers
  • 16 slices bacon, cut in half
  • 32 toothpicks
 Directions

 

  1. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Cut the shrimp along the back, nearly through to the front. Stuff each shrimp with a sliver of jalapeno, then wrap with half a slice of bacon. Secure with a toothpick. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  3. Now, you can either deepfry them until the bacon is crispy and golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, or you can throw them in the oven at 350 degrees for 3-5 minutes until the bacon is browned. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate before serving.
