Ree used to make shrimp brochettes and jalapeño poppers for her late father-in-law, Chuck, as they were his two favorite appetizers. Here, Ree has decided to combine them both into one delicious mouthful.
| Level: | Easy |
| Total: | 1 hr |
| Active: | 15 min |
| Yield: | 12 poppers |
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
- 6 large jalapeños, stemmed, halved and seeded
- 12 jumbo shrimp, shelled and deveined
- 12 slices regular bacon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and fit it with a wire rack.
- In a bowl, mix the cream cheese and seafood seasoning together until combined.
- Smear the cream cheese into the halved jalapeños. Top each jalapeño with a shrimp and wrap with the bacon, securing with a toothpick. Set aside. Repeat until all the jalapeños are filled and wrapped.
- Bake until the shrimp are cooked through, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve.

Agree with the comments…crank it up to 450 then the bacon won’t be raw
These were delicious but the timing is way off. I cooked at 275 for 45 mins then had to increase the heat to 425/350/400 for about 20 more minutes then ultimately put them under the broiler in both sides to cook the bacon thoroughly. I was worried about overcooking the shrimp but it was great. Next time I’ll start at a higher temperature.
Made this after watching Ree whip them up, and huney lemme tell you- they are as yummy as they look. I love the old bay! I love the whole strip of bacon! I love it that it is as easy as our girl made it look on TV to make in our own kitchen! Don’t think about it- just make em!
Only thing I found was that 45 min wasn’t long enough in my oven, the bacon was still a bit raw, so I cranked the heat for about 15 min and they came out perfect!
P.S. I didn’t even want ranch on the side! Yeah- that good! Thanks, Ree! You always make this girl look good in the kitchen!

These are a real hit with everyone, just like Chuck was every time we got to share him for a while. I make sure I don’t use thick cut bacon when I make them. It alters the cooking time necessary if I do. Delicious.
So good! Added some garlic powder to the cream cheese filling.
We love them! Especially the old bay:) I
Needed something to do with all the jalapeños from our garden, this is perfect! Thank you. I used turkey bacon and prosciutto

I saw Ree make these this morning and decided to try them. Easy to put together and mine looked exactly like hers. However, after 45 minutes my bacon was still raw. I turned up the heat a little and cooked another 15 minutes.
I’ve made these for decades – but without the cream cheese…..and I put them on the grill for appetizers before we would put the steaks/burgers/hot dogs on. SO GOOD. You can also put pimento cheese in the jalapenos. Also excellent!!!
