INGREDIENTS
- 16 large shrimps (21/30 count), peeled and deveined, do not remove tails
- 8 slices bacon, each cut crosswise in half
- 2 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, cut into 16 sticks

DIRECTIONS
- Butterfly each shrimp by cutting along its curved back from the head to the tail. Leave the tail section intact.
