Mexican Filled Shrimp
- 36 jumbo shrimp, deveined, and open (like a butterfly)

- 12 cup butter, melted
- 12 cup olive oil
- fresh parsley leaves, to decorate
- salt and pepper
- Place the open shrimp over a flat surface and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Fill each shrimp on the open back part with 1 tablespoons manchego cheese.
- Close the shrimp and secure them by rolling around them a slice of bacon.
- Secure with toothpicks and take them to the fridge 2-3 hours.
- Note: you can cut thin strips of the cheese instead of grating it and that way you can skip the refrigeration time.
- For the sauce: in the food processor (or in a blender) put the sour cream with the mayo, the chipotle chiles, the minced garlic and salt & pepper of your taste).
- Put it in the fridge until used to serve.
- In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil.
