Jalapeño bacon wrapped shrimp


Made a wonderful Saturday night dinner with jalapeno bacon wrapped shrimp, roasted broccoli and brown rice.   Sliced the bacon in half and precooked it until about halfway done in a skillet.  Drained and let it cool on a brown paper bag.  Peeled and deveined 1.5 lbs of large shrimp.  Seeded three jalapenos and sliced in thin strips length wise.  Place a piece of jalapeno on the shrimp, wrapped with bacon and secured with a toothpick.  Placed all the shrimp on a cooling rack on top of sheet pan and baked at 350 for 15 minutes or until bacon was thoroughly cooked.
