24 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
8 oz. Asiago cheese

2. Grate the cheese and mix with jalapeno pepper. Cut each piece of bacon in half. Fill the open section of each shrimp with about 1 tsp. cheese mix. Wrap each shrimp with a piece of bacon, and secure with a wooden pick.

3. Place shrimp on a broiler pan and broil until bacon is crisp. Turn the shrimp and broil until bacon is done.
