My Buffalo Shrimp Jalapeño Poppers are an upgraded version of the classic jalapeño poppers recipe. Shrimp seasoned with buffalo spice, stuffed with brie, and then wrapped in bacon.
There's a reason that these shrimp jalapeno poppers are one of my most requested recipes. I mean seriously what's not to love here?
I was inspired to make this Super Bowl appetizer when I was down in San Diego visiting family.
My sister-in-law was telling me a story about these jalapeño poppers her friend made and how spicy they were. At the exact same time, I was watching Ree Drummond make brie stuffed mushrooms for her Super Bowl party line-up.
Then... bam! Buffalo Shrimp and brie found their way into a jalapeño and got wrapped in bacon for the win!
This is how my brain works folks! 85% of the time, I'm thinking about food and how to cook it!
What You'll Need
- Shrimp
- Bacon

- Buffalo Seasoning - Check out our house blend.

Step-By-Step Instructions
Step 1 – Slice the jalapeños in half
Step 2 — Season the buffalo shrimp
Clean and season the shrimp with a buffalo seasoning blend. I use a homemade buffalo seasoning that is fantastic on everything from this shrimp to chicken.
Step 3 — Stuff the jalapeños
Each jalapeño is stuffed with a chunk of creamy brie cheese, and a buffalo spiced shrimp.
Step 4 — Wrap with Bacon
Wrap the stuffed jalapeno poppers with thick bacon and secure it with a toothpick, if needed.
Step 5 — Bake the bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers

Buffalo Shrimp Jalapeño Poppers
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon Buffalo Seasoning Mix
- 12 jalapeño peppers halved and seeded
- 24 Shrimp medium, raw, tail-off
- 1 round triple cream brie
- 24 slices Applewood Smoked Bacon
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or foil.
- Preheat the oven to 425℉
- Rinse the shrimp with cold water and pat dry with a paper towel or a clean kitchen towel.
- Cut all of the jalapeños in half and seed them. It's a good idea to use gloves for this step.
- Slice the brie into 24 pieces, they don't have to be exactly the same size, but close.
- Toss the shrimp with the buffalo seasoning.
- Start to assemble: Add a piece of brie and one shrimp to each jalapeño, then wrap with a slice of bacon. Secure with a toothpick.
- Place the bacon-wrapped poppers on to your baking sheet. Make sure that they have plenty of space. This makes sure that they get crispy while baking.
- Bake for about 20 minutes. Oven temperatures vary, so make sure that you watch them. I usually rotate the pan halfway through the cooking time.
