Instructions

• Clean, peel and devein shrimp, leaving the last section and tails intact (...if you like. This is the way Pappasito does it - but we like going ahead and completely peeling the shrimp and removing the tail. Your call.)
• With a paring knife, carefully slice each shrimp on the back from tail to tip.
• Stuff 1 small piece cheese and 1 small piece jalapeño into each shrimp.
• Wrap 1/2 slice of bacon around each shrimp.
• Place 3 or 4 shrimp on a wet skewer. Repeat until all shrimp have been placed on skewers.
• Place in refrigerator for a few minutes while you prepare the rest of the recipe.
• In a small bowl, add paprika, cayenne pepper and black pepper together.
• In a small skillet, heat butter and white wine until butter is completely melted.
• Prepare grill to medium heat.
• Remove shrimp from fridge.
• Brush completely with melted butter.
• Sprinkle with seasonings.
• Grill on each side until shrimp are done.
• Serve with rice.
