Afterburners

If you love the heat and sizzle of a jalapeño popper, but aren't really a fan of the overstuffed cream cheese filling, these Afterburners may be your new favorite appetizer. In place of cheese or other gooey stuffing, this three-ingredient recipe uses peeled and deveined shrimp. The peppers are then wrapped in bacon, so you get that rich, meaty bite with the burn of a pepper.

Make sure you use raw shrimp for this recipe. If you use pre-cooked shrimp, they'll likely turn tough and rubbery during the broiling process. But raw shrimp will cook just perfectly with the 5 to 6 minutes of broiling per side.
