Ingredients:  
2 pounds large shrimp - peeled, deveined and butterflied
1 (8 ounce) package Monterey Jack cheese, sliced in 2 inch slices
3 fresh jalapeno peppers, seeded and julienned
1 pound bacon, cut into thirds

Directions:
Preheat a grill for medium-high heat. Soak skewers and/or wooden toothpicks in water. Clean and devein shrimp. Butterfly (cut thru outside of shrimp but do not completely thru to the inside). Place a strip of jalapeno into the opening of butterflied shrimp. Wrap with a piece of the bacon, and thread onto skewers (spear through the top and tail of shrimp - you can usually fit about 6 shrimp on a skewer) or secure each shrimp and bacon with a wooden toothpick. Make sure there is a little space between the shrimp, this will help the bacon cook better. Season both sides of the shrimp generously with Cajun seasoning.

Lightly oil the grill grate. Place shrimp skewers on the grill, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on one side. Turn, and place slices of cheese over the shrimp. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, until bacon is browned, and cheese is melted.
