This Shrimp Jalapeno Popper Dip loaded with bacon and cheese is sure to be the center of attention at your Super Bowl party this year!
p style=”text-align: center;”>
Ok! The Super Bowl is vastly approaching and I realized that I hadn’t yet posted an appetizer that was worthy of said event. What’s the Bowl without calorie laden appetizers all around, right?!?! CONFESSION ALERT: I don’t know about you but I go to Super Bowl parties for the good food, great fellowship and the hilarious commercials. I’m not really there for “THE GAME”. I have a feeling there are others out there just like me, if you’ll actually admit it. 🙂 Don’t worry, I won’t tell a soul. 😉
Not only am I a bit behind with this, I thought I’d jump on this jalapeno popper dip bandwagon. I know, I know…like the world really needs another jalapeno popper dip? I make jalapeno poppers all the time for parties and gatherings and they’re always a big hit with the crowd but the idea of stuffing and wrapping individual peppers doesn’t appeal to me at the moment. With the busyness of life, I’m all about good and tasty food in a flash. What about you?
This appetizer combines all of the classic flavors of a jalapeno popper into a spicy, creamy, yet crunchy dip perfect for your Super Bowl party. Because hubby is such a seafood fanatic, I thought I’d add shrimp to the party just for him! This was a great idea because he loved it so much so that he ate it as his dinner meal. So now you know it’s gotta be good. I actually caught him table dancing while enjoying it. Served with any item worthy of scooping with no “Labor Intensive Stuffing” required makes it a hit with me as well! So serve it up at your Super Bowl party or your community of faith this year (Acts 2:42-47) and watch it disappear in a flash!

That is one yummy looking dip! I love the crunchy panko on top. I’m totally with you on super bowl party priorities. In my book it goes friends, food, commercials…almost anything else…. football. 😉
Thanks Tracy! We may be just two of a kind. Lol! Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
What a great idea! I had the chance to go to a Super Bowl party for my team for once (Cardinals), but now I’ll go for the food 😉 This dip looks fabulous & I can’t wait to give it a try! I love the crunchy panko-Parm on top! Yum!
Lol! Hubby loves the game so where he goes, there I will be! 🙂 Let me know what you think? Thanks for stopping by Patricia!
I love the idea of turning those wonderful flavors into a dip! I’m not one to stuff jalapenos… I read your “about” page, because I loved the way you finished your post with “say grace.” I’m a Christ-follower, and I love Oceans too! I live in McAllen, Texas now, after 22 years in New Mexico. Do you live in Texas?
Hi Tamara! Amen! We’d love to live in Texas one day! If the Lord ever allows us, we’ll be there! 🙂 I’m in Michigan, near Detroit.
Girl this dip looks to die for!!! I wish I had seen it yesterday for game day!! Yummy!!
Amishi!!!!! Thanks so much! Game Day? I’m sadly only aware of the SuperBowl. LOL! Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
Do you cook the shrimp before or let it cook when everything goes into the oven?
Hi Lori! I’m so sorry that I’m just now seeing this question. The raw shrimp go in the oven with the rest of the ingredients. How did it turn out for you?
This looks SO good my mouth is literally watering just from reading it! I’ll be making these regardless of “game day” or not. Thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks Hannah! Yep, it’s “any day” approved! 🙂 Enjoy!!
What a fun idea! Seems much easier then stuffing, coating and frying individual poppers.
Thanks Matt! Easy-Peasy!! 🙂
I love that you combined these flavors into a dip!! Perfect for the Super Bowl 🙂
Thanks Christina! Yes, it’s a must for the Super Bowl! 🙂
This looks yummy. Now I have to go to the grocery.
Thanks Heather! Be sure to have many friends around or you just may overdo it! 🙂
