In a skillet, cook the bacon just to give it some color about 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and give it a rough chop. Set aside for now.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Cut the jalapeños in half, rinse well and remove the seeds and ribs from the inside. Transfer to a greased baking sheet and set aside.
Remove the tails from peeled and deveined shrimp then transfer to a cutting board and chop into small pieces.
Place the chopped shrimp in a bowl and season with lime juice, salt, ground black pepper, paprika powder and granulated garlic.
In a different bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, crushed red pepper flakes and minced garlic clove.
Mix the shrimp into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
Spoon the cream cheese and shrimp mixture into each jalapeno.
Top the shrimp jalapeno poppers with bacon and Panko Bread Crumbs.
Transfer to the oven and bake at 400 degrees F for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted, shrimp is cooked and jalapeno peppers are fork tender.
Serve immediately and enjoy!

Take special care when handling the jalapeños. If you’re not used to cooking with them, make sure to use gloves or wash hands very thoroughly afterwards.
