Bacon wrapped crab stuffed shrimp
Ok now that Troy has your attention let us begin

Jalapeño white sauce
Dice a small can of pickled jalapeños and retain the juice.
get about 6 ounces of chicken stock boiling and add a cup of cream
once this comes to a boil add some roux or cornstarch to thicken
add the jalapeño juice and about two table spoons of the chopped chilies
then add about 3tablespoons sour cream and four ounces each cheddar and jack cheese
remove from heat and stir briskly
the sauce should be off white smooth and just a little bit of heat
Stuffed shrimp
start off with some nice large shrimp I use 18 to 21 per pound commonly called jumbo
butterfly the shrimp and devein
use some nice jumbo lump crab meat
insert some crab about an once in to the center of a butterflyed shrimp
Now use some of the precooked bacon use half a slice to wrap the crab and shrimp and secure with a tooth pick.
You’re ready to cook. Fire up the oven the 400 and place the shrimp packets in a lightly greased pie pan and stand back. It should take about 15 minutes but keep checking after ten min.
When ready just lay down a little puddle of sauce and arrange the shrimp decoratively if your a fancy boy, me I’ll just dunk em!
