Afterburners (Jalapeño Shrimp Poppers)

“Afterburners” (also called “jalapeño shrimp poppers”) are jalapeño peppers stuffed with shrmp and wrapped with bacon, usually served with a spicy queso dip. “Jalapeño shrimp poppers” is cited since at least 2001 and “afterburners” is cited from at least 2003.
 
The jalapeño is a state pepper of Texas. A similar bacon-wrapped jalapeño appetizer is called “atomic buffalo turds” (ABT).

Afterburners. You can’t beat a jalapeno pepper stuffed with shrimp and wrapped in bacon. I first sampled this appetizer years ago at a party in Dallas and decided to experiment. I grilled mine instead of broiling them as the recipe suggests. YUM!

South Texas Afterburners
Did some ABTs but don’t have any prep pictures - sorry. I’ll take some the next time. These were good-sized - those two grates are 8” across each. Split ‘em down the sides and scooped out the innards and stuffed.
