1
Prepare the Shrimp
Peel and devein the jumbo gulf shrimp, leaving the tails on for presentation. Rinse under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
2
Prepare the Jalapeño
Slice the jalapeño in half lengthwise and remove the seeds for less heat. Cut each half into thin strips.
3
Prepare the Cheese
Cut the pepper jack cheese into thin strips that will fit inside the shrimp.

4
Stuff the Shrimp
Take each shrimp and make a small incision along the back. Insert a strip of pepper jack cheese and a piece of jalapeño into the opening.
5
Wrap with Bacon
Wrap each stuffed shrimp with a slice of bacon, securing the ends with a toothpick if necessary.

6
Season the Shrimp
In a bowl, combine garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and olive oil. Toss the wrapped shrimp in the seasoning blend until evenly coated.
7
Cook the Shrimp
Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the bacon-wrapped shrimp on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are opaque and the bacon is crispy.
8
Serve
Remove the shrimp from the grill, let them rest for a minute, and serve warm as an appetizer or main dish.
