Preheat the Oven

Take each jumbo shrimp and place a strip of Monterey Jack cheese inside. Add a slice of jalapeño on top of the cheese.

Prepare the Shrimp

Wrap each shrimp with a bacon strip, securing it with a toothpick if necessary.

Wrap with Bacon

Drizzle the olive oil over the wrapped shrimp and season with salt and black pepper. Arrange them on a baking sheet.

Season and Arrange

Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the shrimp are cooked through.

Bake

While the shrimp are baking, melt 1/2 cup of butter in a small saucepan over low heat and infuse with minced garlic (2 cloves) for 5 minutes.

Prepare Garlic Butter

Once the shrimp are done, serve them hot with the garlic-infused butter on the side for dipping.
