Recipes - I am SOOOOO hungry!

How about an appetizer that disappears as fast as you can pull it out of the oven ??

Take a fresh jalapeno. Half and de-seed and de-vein. Spread cream cheese. Add a whole fresh shrimp. Wrap in half of a slice of bacon. Broil until bacon is crispy.

These are amazing and everyone raves about them. Takes some time doing all the prep. I prep them and use toothpicks to hold everything together.

Key is 1 shrimp to half a jalapeno and half slice of bacon. Spiral the bacon around it don't wrap it thick

Yeah, this sounds like a great appie, Ryan - I love some 'heat' - No doubt I'll try it soon !

If you want some heat Paul be sure to leave the vein in the pepper

I do leave some vein in Jalapenos, Ryan, but not in a few other hot peppers that I've used -
some examples are Thai red chilies, and Scotch Bonnets ! Those are just toooo much heat if veining is left in ! LOL

Ah a man that knows his scoville ratings lol.

Growing up my grandmother did nothing but cook authentic Mexican food. Heat was never missing that's for sure. I used to love how the whole filled with the smell of her roasting jalapenos and serranos

You're a lucky man Ryan. I love Mexican food, and use a lot of jalapenos, serranos, anchos, and chipotles.
I often cook a few dishes like enchiladas, quesadillas, chimichangas, fajitas, tamales, and others.

Sounds good Paul. If you don't or haven't roasted your peppers give it a shot. Really brings out intense flavor and aroma

Word of caution, open doors and windows and be careful with the little ones in the room. My son starts coughing like crazy

That is very true good call Rick. I use some really hot little yellow peppers when I do cheesesteaks. Those ones get me really bad

When I make my hot salsa, the air can give you an asthma attack!

You guys probably already know this but the capsican gets into the skin of your fingers and does not come out with washing. You can seriously burn your eyes if you accidentally rub them even hours after handling hot peppers.

Yes, I do occasionally roast the peppers, Ryan.
I often roast the mild Anaheim Peppers for a 'Very Cruz Scallops' recipe which I make quite often.

Oh I love Anaheim. Hollow them out stuff with Jack cheese and throw them on the grill

I have seeds for "chocolate ghost" peppers I plan to grow this year. I don't know if I''ll be able to eat them.

Hey, an update !
I liked this dish so much the first time, I tried it once more with a slight variation, and decided it was most definitely a huge keeper to my recipe list !

All I did, at the tail end, while I was whisking the sauce around on a slow simmer to thicken it, was to add the zest of approx. 1/4 of an orange peel, with a bit of sugar added -
what a difference it made ! - the combination of that extra citrus with the beautiful prawns, and the tasty/salty prosciutto was to turn it into a delectable meal !

I found too, that while I was whisking the sauce, it would help to add a bit of cornstarch in water to accelerate the thickening of the sauce to the consistency I wanted it - and it worked perfectly !

Wow, you've got to give this simple recipe a try - it really is a wonderful departure from the usual way of finishing a prawn dish, either for the main dish, or an appy.

This is definitely an awesome dish to appeal to special company - they'll love it & ask for the recipe- almost guaranteed, imo.
Do give it a try !

Can you tell I'm a real food addict ? Just love it! It's almost as good as S.. !

I very much want to make this. I can taste it in my mind's taste buds. I can't make it until next weekend.
