Jalapeno & Shrimp Poppers image

Just wanting an appetizer and I had these lovely Jalapenos SOooo put on my thinking cap looked in the freezer and came up with this recipe - looks attractive and it really isn't all that spicy, the baking seems to take some of the heat out of the Jalapenos. These may be made ahead but wait to put the crumbs on top until just before baking. Artificial crab works well too. Some like to steam the jalapenos for 5 minutes first but I like to have a little crunch to them.

Not the biggest fan of shrimp, but these poppers were surprisingly good. The breading was crispy and the shrimp was tender.

I thought the poppers were just okay. They weren't as flavorful as I expected.

The poppers were easy to make, but the shrimp were a little overcooked.

These poppers were a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them.
