If you are cutting the poppers in half: cut them lengthwise and remove the seeds. Mix together the cream cheese and garlic powder and press some cream cheese mixture into each jalapeno. Lay a shrimp down the center of the jalapeno. Wrap with a half slice of bacon and secure with toothpicks.

If you are leaving them whole and cooking them upright: Cut the stem off of the jalapenos and clean the seeds out of the middle. Chop the shrimp and mix with cream cheese and garlic powder. Stuff into jalapenos. Cross 1/4 slices of bacon over the top of the pepper and secure with toothpicks. Place in rack to cook.

Normally we grill the peppers, just grill covered over medium heat. By the time the bacon is done, everything is done. This time I did them in the oven. I baked them at 350 F for 10 minutes and then turned it up to 400 for 5-10 minutes or until the bacon is done to your liking. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
