Cut lengthwise sections of pepper to size needed to cover cheese, spanning width and length of butterfly cavity.

I forgot to take photo of shrimp soaking in lime juice.
I butterflied the shrimp a bit more than this.
Ready for the grill.
Grill, turning once, until done.
Cooked the remainder of shrimp for bride. We love this appetizer and have been ordering / making it at home since we were dating.
Thanks for looking!
