Preheat smoker to 335 degrees.
Add Olive oil to a pan, season your shrimp good with the cajun seasoning and cook them until you have a nice color on them and they are done.
Set aside 24 whole cooked shrimp and dice up the remaining shrimp.
In a bowl, add all of your cheeses, diced shrimp and enough cajun seasoning to your liking. Mix until well combined.
Stuff all of your jalapeños with the cheese and shrimp mixture and place on a wire rack.
Place your jalapeño poppers into the smoker and allow to cook for around 45 minutes. The last 5 minutes, place a whole shrimp onto each jalapeño popper to heat through.
Once they are done, remove from smoker, plate them up however you like and drizzle with Melinda’s Hot Honey.
Time to go in for that bite! Grab you one, dig in and enjoy!
