Ingredients:
8 fresh jalapeno peppers
1/2 cup cooked shrimp, finely chopped
1 tablespoon bacon bits
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2-1 teaspoon garlic powder
red pepper flakes, to taste
Directions:
Slice the stem of each jalapeno, being careful not to cut into the cavity of the pepper.
Cut jalapenos in half, lengthwise and remove seeds and membranes. Microwave jalapenos at 80% power for 4-7 minutes, or until they are slightly soft.
Mix remaining ingredients and spoon into jalapeno halves.
Broil for 5 minutes, or until cheese mixture is lightly browned.
