I added a piece of sliced water chestnut. The "crunch" added extra to this base.

I also left some jalapeno membrane on some of the pieces-wow!

How can you go wrong with shrimp and bacon. I love the idea of adding a slice of jalapeno to it, wonderful!!!! I love making appetizers and this is just another one that I will add to my recipe files. Thank you!!
