Shrimp En Brochette

4 Servings

Special occasions call for fancy food and drinks. A few years back, we had a nice steak dinner at home for our anniversary. Life was busy and we had decided to stay in rather than travel or go out. I made this shrimp en brochette recipe to go along with our dinner. They were a hit with Brandon and I loved them too. I guess I associated them with special occasions because I didn’t make them again until this year’s Super Bowl.


Ever since I was a little girl, shrimp has been my favorite thing to eat. Shrimp salad, shrimp gumbo, boiled shrimp, and ALL THE SHRIMP never bore my taste buds. My whole family enjoys shrimp (not as much as me though) so I thought I’d give this recipe another try for The Big Game. I think we’ve had our fair share of air fryer wings so these were well received by my family. To appease the picky eaters (the boys), I modified this recipe with some shrimp plain, and some with just shrimp and bacon. It was a win and so I wanted to share this recipe with you.

    What size shrimp? That's only enough bacon for 12 shrimp. How much cream cheese? Do you cut the peppers in 6 pieces? Wouldn't the shrimp be overcooked by the time the bacon is crisp? Sorry, I've been looking for a stuffed shrimp recipe, but this one needs some tweaking.
