         Title: Red Lobster Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Shrimp   
    Categories: Copycat, Seafood   
         Yield: 2 Servings   
       
   MMMMM-------------------------SEASONING------------------------------   
       1/4 ts Salt   
       1/4 ts Paprika   
         1 ds Ground black pepper   
         1 ds Cayenne pepper   
         1 ds Allspice   
      
   MMMMM-----------------------DIPPING SAUCE----------------------------   
       1/3 c  Ranch dressing   
       1/4 ts Dried cilantro -OR-   
       1/2 ts Fresh cilantro; minced   
      
   MMMMM---------------------------SHRIMP--------------------------------   
         5 sl Bacon   
         5 lg Shrimp   
         3 sl Fresh jalapeno   
         1 oz Pepper jack cheese   
       
     It's shrimp, it's bacon, it's cheese; what's not to like? It's one of   
     the latest tasty appetizers on the Red Lobster menu, and now you can   
     dupe it at home. Find some large shrimp, a wooden skewer, and cook   
     the bacon about halfway to done before you begin. Mix up a clone of   
     Red Lobster's top secret seasoning and the cilantro-ranch dipping   
     sauce, and you're minutes away from scarfing down a delectable dish   
     that's meant to be a teaser for what's to come. Looks like you'd   
     better make the main coarse a real doozy.   
        
     Open the shrimp, put a jalapeno slice in there, a chunk of cheese on   
     top, and wrap it all up with bacon.   
        
     When skewering, be sure to face all the shrimp the right   
     direction--like a tight little Rockettes kick line.   
        
     Preheat oven to broil.   
        
     Make the seasoning blend by combining the ingredients in a small   
     bowl. Set this aside.   
        
     Make the dipping sauce by combining the ranch dressing with cilantro   
     in a medium bowl.   
        
     Cook the bacon in a frying pan over medium/high heat, but don't cook   
     it all the way to crispy. You want undercooked bacon that, when cool,   
     will easily wrap around the shrimp. Cook the bacon about 3 minutes   
     per side, and don't let it brown. When the bacon is done lay it on   
     paper towels to drain and cool.   
        
     Shell the shrimp, leaving the last segment of the shell and the tail.   
     Remove the dark vein from the back of the shrimp, and then cut down   
     into the back of the shrimp, without cutting all the way through, so   
     that the shrimp is nearly butterflied open. This will make a pocket   
     for the pepper and cheese.   
        
     Pour 1 cup of water into a small bowl. Add the shrimp and jalapeno   
     peppers and microwave for 60 to 90 seconds. Shrimp should be starting   
     to firm up and change color. Immediately pour the water out of the   
     bowl, remove the jalapeno slices and pour cold water over the shrimp.   
     Place the the shrimp and jalapeno pepper slices onto paper towels to   
     drain off excess water.   
        
     Build the appetizer by cutting the jalapeno slices in half and   
     removing the seeds. You should now have 6 jalapeno slices--you'll   
     need 5 of these. Place one slice into the slit on the back of a   
     shrimp. Cut a 1" long chunk of cheese, about 1/4" thick, and place it   
     on the jalapeno slice. Wrap a piece of bacon around the shrimp,   
     starting where the cheese is. Start wrapping with the thinnest end of   
     the bacon. Go 1-1/2 times around the shrimp and then cut of the   
     excess bacon and slide a skewer through the shrimp, starting with the   
     end where the cheese is and piercing the cut end of the bacon on the   
     other side. Repeat with the remaining shrimp and slide them onto the   
     skewer with the tails facing the same direction.   
        
     Put the skewer onto a baking sheet or broiler pan and sprinkle a very   
     light coating of the seasoning blend over the shrimp, then broil for   
     3 to 4 minutes or until the bacon begins to brown and the cheese   
     begins to ooze. Serve over a bed of rice if desired. Feed the left   
     over bacon pieces to the dog while you scarf out on the shrimp.
