Step

  • 1

    Butterfly the shrimp by slicing them along the back top open but do not cut all the way through. Set aside. Cut the bacon slices in half and reserve.

  • 2

    Core the jalapeños and cut them into matchsticks. Slice the cheese into similar-sized slivers as the peppers. Place one slice of jalapeño and one slice of cheese inside each shrimp. Wrap stuffed shrimp in a half piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick.

    After you have constructed all of the shrimp, season lightly with Meat Church The Gospel All-Purpose Rub.

    When ready to cook, set Traeger temperature to 425°F and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.
