Categories     Other Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 - fresh jalapeno peppers
8 - medium sized shrimp,peeled, deveined, and cooked
- monterey jack or mozzarella cheese
8 - strips of bacon
- sour cream

Steps:

  • Put disposable gloves on. Cut tops off jalapeno peppers and remove seeds. Rinse peppers and you can take gloves off now.
  • Stuff peppers first with a small amount of cheese, then one shrimp and fill remainder with more cheese. Wrap pepper with a strip of bacon, using a tooth pick to secure in place.
  • Place each "kiss" on a broiler pan.
  • Broil until bacon is crispy. Drain on a paper towel and serve on a plate with sour cream for the dipping.

Tips:

  • Choose the right shrimp: For the best flavor and texture, use large, fresh shrimp. Frozen shrimp can also be used, but be sure to thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Prepare the shrimp properly: Devein and peel the shrimp, leaving the tails intact. This will help to keep the shrimp moist and juicy during cooking.
  • Stuff the jalapeƱos evenly: Use a small spoon or your fingers to evenly distribute the shrimp stuffing into the jalapeƱos. Be careful not to overstuff them, or they will be difficult to close.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will greatly affect the flavor of the Cajun kisses. Use a sharp cheddar cheese for a bold flavor, or a milder cheese like mozzarella or pepper jack for a more subtle flavor.
  • Cook the Cajun kisses until they are golden brown: This will ensure that the shrimp is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve the Cajun kisses immediately: These are best enjoyed hot and fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Cajun kisses are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With their spicy and cheesy flavor, they are sure to be a hit with your guests. So next time you are looking for a fun and festive appetizer, give Cajun kisses a try!
