Shrimp Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers

Sunday, February 5, 2023
Jalapeño Poppers are so addicting! We love these fresh jalapeños sliced in half and coated with chili lime seasoning like the fried jalapeños from the Mexican restaurant. I then filled them with a delicious cream cheese, jack cheese, and shrimp filling before topping them with a delicious buttery cheesy panko bread topping.

I made Shrimp Stuffed Jalapeño Poppers way back at the Super Bowl. I can't believe it's taken me this long to share. 

If your a seafood lover like we are Shrimp Stuffed Jalapeño Poppers are for you! They are on the top of my list for all time favorite Jalapeño Poppers. I love all the cheesy goodness loaded with shrimp and crunchy panko topping. 

Whenever Colt and I go out for Mexican Food we order fried jalapeños. Our favorite restaurant coats the outside in chili lime seasoning, which happens to be my favorite part. So I decided to sprinkle the outside of the jalapeños with chili lime seasoning to really kick up the flavor of these Shrimp Stuffed Jalapeños.


I didn't wear gloves, but they are probably a good idea to prevent the dreaded I touched a jalapeño, and then accidentally touched my face scenario. If you've never experienced it I don't suggest trying it. Cut 5-6 large Jalapeños in half, and use a spoon to remove seeds. Brush skin of jalapeños with olive oil, and sprinkle with Chili Lime Seasoning.

Cream together: 
  • 4 ounces Cream Cheese
  • 1 cup Shredded Jack Cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon Chili Lime Seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
Mix until well combined. Fold in 1/2 pound Bay Shrimp (small salad shrimp) and divide stuffing equally between jalapeños.

In a small bowl mix together: 
  • 1/4 cup Panko Bread Crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon Melted Butter
Mix until well combined.

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons Shredded Jack Cheese over the top of stuffed jalapeños. Then sprinkle the panko bread crumb mixture over the top. 

Shrimp Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers topped with panko bread crumbs baked in a small baking dish on a wooden cutting board.

Bake in a 400 degree oven for 15-20 minutes until panko is golden brown.

These are a must for your next party, or just because!

  2. This made me laugh--I never wear gloves and I can't tell you how many times I've touched my EYES after working with jalapeños. You'd think I'd learn. My dad is a huge shrimp lover so I'm going to have to make these for him sometime. They look delish!

    1. I bought mine from Trader Joes, but most major grocery stores should carry it in the Mexican Food section. The most common name brand one is called Tajin Seasoning. If you google it, it might help get an idea of what the bottle looks like.

    1. You could assemble them but I would wait to add the panko topping until right before baking to prevent the topping from becoming soggy. Thanks, Serena

  7. I didn't have chili lime seasonings so I used fresh squeezed lemon. I'm sure it would have been tastier with the right seasonings but it was delicious. I will definitely make them again with the chili lime. Photos on instagram, ggsster.

    1. I haven't tried it but it seems like it would work. My only thought would be maybe the condensation from freezing could affect the panko. Maybe make the topping fresh? If you try freezing them I would love to hear how it goes. Thanks, Serena
