Jalapeños Stuffed with Shrimp and Chorizo

Steps

• 1

  Heat the oil in a medium nonstick pan.
• 2

  Add the shrimp; season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook the shrimp on both sides until cooked, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool. Chop each shrimp into small pieces.
• 3

  Add the onion, garlic, and chorizo to the same pan. Cook, breaking up the chorizo into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until it is no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Remove from the pan, drain, and let cool.
• 4

  Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
• 5

  In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese and the Monterey Jack. Add the shrimp and chorizo; mix until fully blended.
• 6

  Stuff the jalapeños with the shrimp and chorizo mixture. Sprinkle more Monterey Jack cheese on top, if you like.

  Bake for 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese begins to brown.
