2. hollow out peppers - be sure to get all the veins and seeds out
3. coat peppers inside and out with olive oil
4. peel and devein the shrimp - season with old bay seafood seasoning and fresh ground pepper if desired
5. stuff a small piece of the cheese in the bottom of the pepper - followed by a seasoned shrimp - followed by a larger piece of cheese
