Number Of Ingredients 19

aluminum foil
4 large poblano peppers
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 pound cooked shrimp, peeled and chopped
1 ¾ cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
1 ½ cups cooked rice
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons dried cilantro flakes
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup panko (Japanese) bread crumbs
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Cook peppers under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Place blackened peppers into a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Allow peppers to steam as they cool, about 20 minutes.
  • While peppers are steaming, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Cut cooled peppers in 1/2; remove and discard skins. Place peppers, cut-sides down, in an ungreased 10x15-inch baking pan. Brush with 1 tablespoon melted butter; sprinkle with pepper and salt.
  • Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Turn peppers over in the baking pan so the cut-sides are facing up.
  • Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and celery; saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add cream cheese and stir until melted. Add cooked shrimp, shredded Mexican cheese blend, cooked rice, lemon juice, cilantro, onion powder, and garlic powder. Cook until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Spoon shrimp and rice mixture into pepper halves.
  • Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and 2 tablespoons melted butter for the topping. Sprinkle over peppers.
  • Return to the preheated oven and bake, uncovered, until topping is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.

  • Remove the seeds and veins from the poblano peppers: Once the peppers are roasted, let them cool slightly before handling them. Then, use a sharp knife to cut the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and veins.
  • Stuff the poblano peppers with your favorite filling: There are many different fillings that you can use to stuff poblano peppers. Some popular options include shrimp, chicken, beef, rice, and beans. Get creative and experiment with different flavors and textures.
  • Bake the stuffed poblano peppers until they are heated through: Once the peppers are stuffed, place them in a baking dish and bake them at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is cooked through and the peppers are heated through.
