Happy Valentine’s Day! I have the perfect easy {yet impressive} meal for you to surprise your sweetie with! I made these Claim Jumper copy cat stuffed BBQ shrimp for Hubbyman. He feel in love with them the last time we ate at Claim Jumper. One small problem though, I couldn’t taste those wonderful looking bacon wrapped shrimp that were perched up on a bed of rice on Hubbyman’s plate. So, I had to figure out a way to make them for both of us to enjoy!
I think this is the perfect bite of food! Seriously, what could be better than jumbo shrimp stuffed with cream cheese and jalapeno then wrapped in bacon and glazed in BBQ sauce all served over a bed of rice. Is your mouth watering yet?
Don’t let the idea of wrapping shrimp in bacon with jalapenos scare you. Really, it couldn’t be any easier. I can’t even truly call it a recipe…more of a how to.
That’s it in a nut shell. Slice a jalepeno, top with a tad of cream cheese (or vegan cream cheese, like I did), stick the shrimp on top, and wrap in bacon. Cook and Eat!
What do you think? Are they worthy of making for your special someone? My Hubbyman would say absolutely!
Stuffed BBQ Shrimp
Jumbo shrimp are stuffed with cream cheese and jalapeno then wrapped in bacon and glazed in a sweet BBQ sauce. These stuffed bbq shrimp are delicious shrimp appetizers!
Ingredients
- 12 raw jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/4 cup cream cheese
- 2 large jalapenos, sliced on the bias
- 6 slices bacon, uncooked
- 1/4 cup sweet BBQ sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F. Line a baking sheet with tin foil.
- Cut bacon in half, making 12 short slices of uncooked bacon. Lay out sliced jalapenos in a single layer and top each one with a small amount of cream cheese. Place a shrimp on top of each jalepeno/cream cheese piece and then gently wrap bacon around shrimp (making sure that the seem of the bacon is on the bottom side of the jalapeno).
- Place on prepared baking sheet and baste with BBQ sauce. Bake for 10 minutes and then gently turn over bacon wrapped shrimp. Baste with more BBQ sauce. Cook an additional 5-10 minutes or until bacon is fully cooked.

Could these be cooked on a bbq? Sorry, I have never cooked shrimp before because I think it’s disgusting, but my husband loves it!
I don’t see why you couldn’t grill them Holli! That sounds really tasty and perfect for summer!
