Cool off With Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Shrimp

FRESH SHRIMP is a favorite of my family and me. This recipe uses one of my favorite products, My Jalapeno Kiwi Jelly. It is tangy along with a hint of spicy sweetness to create a flavorful, but light dish that will satisfy your seafood craving.

I hope you enjoy!

12 Large Shrimp peeled & deveined, leaving the tail on slightly butterflied

6 Jalapeno Peppers rinsed, halved and seeded
