I am a newbie and not great at figuring out nutritional information but I am pretty certain these are OK and they are absolutely delicious. They are probably best on the grill but you can bake them as well and finish under the broiler for desired color. If anyone wants to create the "stats" on these, please do. I need to learn the process for doing that.

8 Jalapenos (roughly same size) cored, and sliced in half lengthwise. Take out the white ribs and wash hands thoroughly after handling them. While handling them dont touch your eyes, lips, or nose.

1/2 cup cream cheese (slightly room temp)
1 green onion minced
16 Shrimp (raw, shelled, deveined, if necessary)
16 strips of sugar free bacon
Pepper
Garlic Powder (1 tsp)

Assemble the poppers thusly.

Combine cream cheese, onion, pepper, and garlic powder. Fill each jalapeno half with cream cheese. On top of the cheese place a shrimp. Wrap the entire thing with the piece of bacon (center cut bacon works best bc its a little shorter). Secure with toothpicks rubbed in oil. Throw on to a barbeque and cook until bacon is crisp, turning every few minutes. Depending on the heat of your grill, and the number of poppers being cooked this could take between 15 and 30 minutes, but pay more attention to the progress of the bacon and avoid burning the jalapeno, too much. (it will turn black to some degree, but you want green showing still). Its probably impossible to undercook the shrimp on this, but, as long as the shrimpare firm and opaque all the way through, you are fine.

Hand these out to your kin and they will sing your praises. Eat them and you will sing your own praises.

Makes 16 appetizer servings, increase portions as needed. You can get about thirty on a standard Weber circular grill.


P.S. a coating of lemon pepper seasoning goes well on these, too.

Wow, that looks awesome. The carb count would be very low, indeed.

These are just going on to the grill..

These sound incredible! Wow!

I LOVE jalapeno poppers. Thank you so much for this recipe!

Those sound great.
I do poppers as well.
My our I scoop out the seeds from the Jalapenos and the stuff them with a mixture of either goat cheese or cream cheese, chopped green onions and and crumbled cooked bacon.
And I agree with Purple that either on bbq or in the oven will work. Every year we go on a camping trip and they are the hit of the trip with everyone.

I make these all the time and they are delicious! She lists carb values at end.
