Ingredients for Smoking Wizard's Spellbound Jalapeño Poppers:

• • 12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 12 jalapeños, halved and seeds removed
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup Smoking Wizard Pineapple Glaze - or - 1/4 cup Smoking Wizard Pineapple Habanero Glaze (optional for extra heat)
  • 12 slices of bacon
  • Smoking Wizard Cajun Rub

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Preparation
Preheat your grill or smoker to medium-high heat (around 375°F to 400°F).

Step 2: Cream Cheese Mixture
In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the Pineapple Glaze. If you want an extra kick, add Pineapple Habanero Glaze and mix well.

Step 3: Stuff Jalapeños
Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill each jalapeño half with the cream cheese mixture.

Step 4: Add Shrimp
Place one shrimp on top of the cream cheese mixture in each jalapeño half.

Step 5: Wrap in Bacon
Carefully wrap each shrimp and jalapeño combo with a slice of bacon, making sure it's snug but not too tight.

Step 6: Season
Lightly sprinkle the Smoking Wizard Cajun Rub on the outside of the bacon-wrapped jalapeño and shrimp.

Step 7: Grill
Place the wrapped jalapeños on the grill and close the lid. Grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning halfway through, until the bacon is crispy and the shrimp is cooked.

Step 8: Serve
Remove from grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Enjoy your Jalapeño, Cream Cheese, Shrimp & Bacon Wrapped Grilled Poppers spiced up with Smoking Wizard's finest!
