El Dorado Shrimp Recipe

El Dorado Shrimp Recipe

  • 1 cup coffee-flavored liqueur (such as Kahlua®)
  • 4 ounces Chihuahua cheese, sliced into strips
  • 10 large shrimp, peeled and deveined, or more to taste
  • 10 slices smoked bacon, or more to taste
  1. Bring coffee-flavored liqueur to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until liqueur is reduced by half, 5 to 10 minutes.
  2. Set oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven's broiler.
  3. Place a slice of Chihuahua cheese on the back of each shrimp and wrap shrimp and cheese with 1 bacon strip; set on a baking sheet. Repeat for remaining shrimp.
  4. Broil on the middle rack in the preheated broiler until bacon cooks and cheese melts, about 5 minutes. Transfer cooked shrimp to a plate and drizzle with liqueur reduction.
